HANOVER Dartmouth College employees who have been working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic are expected to return to campus in September.
Some employees may also be asked to return to campus temporarily this spring and summer to assist with important events or activities, Dartmouth Provost Joseph Helble and Executive Vice President Rick Mills said in a Tuesday email to the college community.
“When employees do return, our plans will include a transition period, with some employees returning sooner than others, depending on the nature of their work, and this will likely include staggered start dates,” the two administrators wrote.
