January 13th
Dear Students,
I hope this email finds you healthy and settling into your spring classes.
With many of our classes being held face-to-face this semester, it’s important
to remember the precautions that are in place on campus to guard against COVID-19:
- Face masks are required at MSU, especially inside our buildings, including
classrooms, dining halls and residence hall common areas. This is a student
conduct code matter, and my office follows up on every report of non-compliance
with the requirement. In general, if you’re on campus, we want to see you
wearing a mask.
- Social distancing. Our classrooms are all socially distanced to minimize the spread
of germs, as are our dining halls and other buildings. Keep away from others and
avoid large gatherings on and off campus.
- Wash your hands often. Use soap and water when you can. Use hand sanitizer
when you can’t.
- Clean 'Cat Kits. Pick up your spring Clean 'Cat Kit and use it to help make extra
certain the surfaces you touch every day are sanitized.
Free testing for COVID-19 is available on campus at the Student Testing Center near the
stadium. Residence hall students can get a test without showing symptoms until Jan. 22
—use this quick online form to book an appointment. But any student who has symptoms
of the virus can get a test without an appointment. All the details are online on our COVID-19 website.
The small things we do, like wearing the mask and washing your hands, can have big effects
in reducing the spread of the virus on our campus and in the Bozeman community.
Please do your part.
Regards,
Matt Caires, dean of students
