CSC GROUPPROJECTS | SEPTEMBER EDITION
Returning to Campus During a Pandemic
Stephen Lopez, Chief, New Mexico State University (NMSU)
This will be an open discussion led by Chief Stephen Lopez (New Mexico State University) that examines a variety of issues related to returning to campus in the midst of a pandemic.
The NMSU Las Cruces campus is one of the few universities that maintained students in campus housing during the Spring 2020 semester, and has returned students to campus during the Fall 2020 semester (utilizing a hybrid approach).
The discussion will include:
- What does “returning to campus” mean?
- Who is in charge, and of what?
- Considerations for campus housing
- Impact of campus and community culture
- Monitoring trends and data
- Key stakeholders and efforts
- Can a “whole community” approach help?
- Classes, events, gatherings
