Dear Campus Community,

St. Louis city and county officials announced today that a mandatory ‘stay-at-home’ order will take effect Monday to combat the spread of COVID-19. In light of the St. Louis city and county order, the University campus will be closed to all personnel beginning Monday, March 23.

Security personnel and resident staff will be on site to accommodate the remaining resident hall students. Also, buildings on the main campus will be open today from 3:00-6:00 pm and tomorrow from 1:00-4:00 pm in order to allow faculty/staff to gather personal belongings, teaching and work related resources. We ask that you do not linger or congregate during these times.

Please direct any questions you may have to your area vice president. We will communicate more information as it becomes available. Keeping all of you and our students in my prayers as we navigate this challenge together.

Be well and safe,

Dr. Keith Ross
