Dear Students,

In light of the evolving details associated with the health issue COVID-19 (Coronavirus) I am writing to bring you up to date about our response.

We are aware of a few faculty, staff and students who recently traveled to international high-risk areas. The college is working with them according to the Center for Disease Control and Kalamazoo County Health Department guidelines. These individuals are being required to self-quarantine for 14 calendar days.

It is very important that the college continues to provide a welcoming environment for all students. The college prohibits discrimination based on many personal attributes, including national origin. Our utmost concern is safeguarding the health and well-being of the college community.

The college has created and launched an informational webpage regarding the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) to assist with provide public information. The webpage is located at www.kvcc.edu/coronavirus. The site will be updated periodically with additional information and resources.

We are closely monitoring developments and will continue to share information as it becomes available.

Thank you.

L. Marshall Washington, Ph.D.
President
