Dear College Community,
Recently, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced modified COVID-19 (Coronavirus) emergency safety rules. I am
communicating with you today to share the good news that the college continues to update and implement
its
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic Response Plan, in accordance with the updated rules, to increase
face-to-face instruction, programs and services. Kalamazoo Valley will continue to meet or exceed the
minimum requirements for ensuring the health and safety of all people associated with the college.
As we continue the phased-in re-opening of campus buildings for administrators, staff, students and
guests,
certain health and safety precautions remain in effect, including:
- Face coverings, worn properly, will continued to be required for all
people on college property.
- When possible, proper social distancing is still required, existing precautions related to offices,
common
spaces and classroom and labs will continue.
- Rigorous cleaning and disinfecting protocols will continue.
- Frequent handwashing and the use of hand sanitizer is recommended.
- Daily health screening will continue to be required for all those working, learning or visiting our
campus
buildings.
- The vaccine has been proven to be a safe and effective way to prevent the spread of the virus and we
encourage everyone to become vaccinated.
The incidences of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) infection on our college campuses remain low and continue to
decline. Thank
all of you who have been diligent in protecting yourself and others from the spread of the disease.
L. Marshall Washington, Ph.D.
President
