Quick, consistent response keeps campus thriving
Quick, consistent response keeps campus thriving

LA GRANDE, Ore. – When Eastern Oregon University students returned to the La Grande campus in January, most of them already knew what to expect.
The small, rural campus was one of few to offer a significant number of in-person classes and services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students’ compliance with health and safety protocols allowed the university to keep case counts at a minimum while continuing operations.
Prior to the start of Winter Term, EOU proactively tested all on-campus students for COVID-19. Students living in on-campus residence halls tested once during Winter Break, and a second time upon returning to campus. Student-athletes complete regular COVID-19 tests to continue participation in practices.
