Health & Lifestyle, Students

May 19, 2021

Provost Robbin Hoopes sent an email message on Monday, May 17, to students enrolled in Summer classes to clarify that the College’s published safety protocols remain in place for Summer semester.

Provost Hoopes said during his weekly “Update” session on May 18 that College governance groups will continue to review the College’s safety protocols in light of emerging information from federal and state health authorities.
Groups that will be discussing College safety protcols in the near future include the Academic Response Team and the Safety Committee.

The message from Provost Hoopes to students is below.

Dear Cincinnati State Student,

Welcome to summer semester! I hope that you are well underway with your summer courses. Helping you successfully complete your courses is the top priority of Cincinnati State faculty and staff. At any time during the semester, feel free to send me an email if you have a question and are unsure who to contact.

For everyone’s continued safety, we all need to continue following our published COVID protocols while indoors (masks and social distancing) – even if you have been vaccinated.

Since classes require being indoors with others over a period of time, these protocols are necessary to ensure everyone’s safety. Cincinnati State will continue reviewing our safety protocols as more information is provided by federal and state health agencies.

If you have not yet been vaccinated, you can take advantage of the on-campus COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic. The clinic will be held May 20^th from noon to 4:00 pm in the Cincinnati State Nursing Skills Lab located on the 2^nd Floor of the Health Professions Bldg. The clinic will be providing the Johnson & Johnson one-shot vaccine.

Best wishes with your courses and have a great summer!
