The Blueprint
The Blueprint is a newsletter from the President that aims to keep the community informed about College-wide initiatives. Read the most recent edition below.
Dear Colleagues,
It’s hard to believe, but we are now entering the final few days of the semester. Yet, we still need to make adjustments as a community. It is our absolute priority to make sure that we are all working towards one common goal: to prepare our campus for a safe, healthy and organized return of students this fall. Though we may not yet know when that return will be, we have a responsibility to work with one another to welcome back our students as soon as we are able.
There is a lot of work to do, which is why we are cancelling all on-campus events through July 30. The very few exceptions are those short campus visits that promote social distancing. It may be a quiet campus, but summer partners such as Facetime, the Center for Talented Youth, the University of the Arts and so many others have been terrific supporters of these plans and our commitment to our students. This quiet period also means that we will not have on-campus student employment this summer, and student housing will not be available. Moving forward, our plans for August will be made in keeping with the commonwealth’s guidance for that time period.
I’ve included key updates below in my May Blueprint newsletter.
This is certainly an unusual close of semester, and I know we have all missed the camaraderie of being with our colleagues and our students on campus, celebrating our seniors and saluting their accomplishments. But once again, I want to thank you for your dedication and resilience. Your Ursinus spirit continues to be a great example to our students every day.
Sincerely,
President Blomberg
