Random COVID-19 testing on campus

Residential students should complete D&E meal service form

As we embark on the second half of the Spring 2021 semester, we wish to emphasize the importance of continued COVID-19 safety practices among students. D&E had two new positive cases this week, the second consecutive week with new positive cases after a month with no new cases. We will keep you updated as to the availability of vaccines for students prior to the end of the semester as we are updated. In the meantime, please help keep the D&E campus safe and healthy. Wear your mask, practice social distancing, wash your hands frequently, avoid large crowds, and encourage your fellow students to do the same. Stay diligent and stay safe.
