Task Force News

January 22, Update - We are waiting for test results and plan to update the dashboard this weekend. We continue to make progress on the transition to a hybrid antigen / PCR model for Feb. 1. We are training additional case managers to support our campus effort. Though we have no update on our Closed POD application, we continue to learn more about procedures should we get approval. In the meantime, all employees are encouraged to learn more about the MontCo vaccine registry. We spoke about indoor capacity and room reservation requests; we intend to remain conservative and cautious in the short-term. We briefly discussed guidelines for vendors supporting future events, such as May Commencement; we’ll continue to evaluate as the semester progresses. We are working with the coordinators to make final preparations for on-campus isolation and quarantine lodging. Next meeting is Monday.

A Statement on the Events in Washington, D.C.

January 6, 2021

Dear Campus Community,

I write to you this afternoon with an incredulous sense of horror, sadness, and shame over the riotous acts taking place right now on Capitol Hill. These lawless actions tear at the fabric of our country and our democracy and cannot—must not—be tolerated. As president of Ursinus College, I do not condone any action that threatens our democracy and mutual respect of one another—the very essence that makes our country great. We have work to do. As we seek a better society, we must be united and not divided. We must work together and not against each other. These are values that our college—and our country—are built upon and need to thrive.

Sincerely,

President Brock Blomberg
