USI planning for in-person instruction for fall semester
EVANSVILLE, Ind. The University of Southern Indiana is making plans for in-person instruction for the upcoming semester, the school announced Tuesday.
To ensure the highest likelihood of more normal operations in the fall, the university is encouraging students, faculty and staff to get vaccinated as soon as they re able. The more people who are vaccinated, the greater our chance of returning to a more normal semester this fall, USI President Ronald Rochon said in a statement. Vaccinations will be key to our ability to return to in-person classes, events, campus housing and community involvement. Because we want to return to a sense of normalcy, we all must play our part. As we have seen, nothing with this pandemic is a certainty. We must remain vigilant and flexible as we move toward the fall semester.
