STUDENTS RETURN TO CAMPUS FOR UNPRECEDENTED SEMESTER After an abbreviated spring semester, Olivet leadership tasked a group of faculty and staff with overseeing plans for fall 2020. In July, Olivet launched the Tiger Pause initiative, outlining basic safety standards for community living. Signage posted on campus buildings, sidewalks, classrooms, recreational spaces and dining facilities reminds students, employees and visitors to practice recommended health protocols, including wearing a mask, maintaining six feet of distance and frequently washing hands. The University also added increased cleaning and sanitizing measures and minimized classroom capacity to comply with social distancing guidelines. Prior to moving in to residential housing, students were asked to quarantine to help facilitate a safe start to the year. The fall semester started on Aug. 17, 2020, and will conclude on Nov. 24. For more information on the Tiger Pause initiative and other health and safety protocols, visit www.olivet.edu/update.
