| FALL MARCHING BACK PROTOCOL PLAN NOW ONLINE |
|
As Carroll prepares to welcome back students to campus this fall, a comprehensive planning effort has been underway to ensure we maintain the health and safety of our community. That planning effort is now available to view online at www.carroll.edu/marchingback.
The Carroll College Marching Back Plan is a phased approach of policies and protocols that will serve as a guide for the college as we cautiously re-open campus to continue our valued mission. These policies and protocols are rooted in deliberate, data-driven decisions that are aligned with the State of Montana and Lewis & Clark Public Health directives.
It will take all of us working together to ensure that we have a safe and healthy campus environment as we move into the future. |
