Updated 1:49 PM;
EAST LANSING, MI – Plans for more in-person classes and activities at Michigan State University are still on track as students and members of the MSU community receive their COVID-19 vaccines, according to President Samuel Stanley.
In an interview with MLive on Wednesday, April 14, Stanley said he has heard loud and clear from students and families about how excited they are to return to an in-person fall semester.
Getting to that point, though, starts with vaccination, Stanley said.
“About 80% (of students) do want to get the COVID-19 vaccine, so that’s a really great number to be starting at,” Stanley said. “We hope to work with the other 20% on educating them and hopefully getting them vaccinated as well.”
Dr. Samuel Stanley, President of Michigan State University, joined West Michigan's Morning News to talk about what the Fall Semester will look like at MSU.

The student-only vaccine clinic on April 9 is located inside the Pavilion for Agricultural and Livestock Education, university officials said. Doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine are being made available by the Ingham County Health Department and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Students must make vaccination appointments, which will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Students should bring a valid student ID, state ID, passport or driver’s license. Their status as an MSU student will be verified upon arrival, officials said.
LANSING Michigan State University will begin offering COVID-19 vaccines to students on Friday.
The state of Michigan recently told MSU that it would begin providing the school with doses of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to a Wednesday letter to students from MSU Senior Vice President for Hospitality Services and Auxiliary Enterprises Vennie Gore and Lt. Dave Oslund, emergency management coordinator.
MSU will administer the shots at the Pavilion for Agriculture and Livestock Education starting Friday. This is all welcome news, and when combined with the fact that more than 80% of undergraduate and graduate students say they intend to get a COVID-19 vaccine, it moves us even closer to a more typical fall semester at Michigan State University, Gore and Oslund wrote.
