Vaccines

Face Masking

Face masks may be worn at the discretion of the individual. We respect the right of any individual who wishes to wear a mask to do so in any setting. We highly recommend that unvaccinated persons continue to wear masks while working in a communal setting or attending in-person meetings with others. As we have done since the start of the pandemic, we will continue to monitor the overall COVID rates on campus, throughout central Ohio, and nationally, and we will continue to adjust guidelines as needed.

  • Those who have been exposed or are recovering from COVID-19 must follow CDC guidance related to mask wearing.
