This fall, Marymount is offering four distinct modes of
instruction: face-to-face delivery with more space between students and an
increased number of class sections; hybrid delivery that combines in-person and
online instruction; remote delivery that allows students to participate from a
distance simultaneously; and online delivery that allows participation from a
distance at their convenience.
The university introduced a #SafeSaint initiative, which uses the
school mascot as an acronym for taking safety precautions: Social distance of 6
feet; Are you a mask ambassador; Integrate hand hygiene; Notice symptoms; Take temperature.
All university members must complete the #CampusClear symptom tracker every day.
Marymount is conducting contact tracing for students, staff and faculty, and
offering on-site testing.
“As we have strived to create a safe and inviting campus for all,
the focus on the collective health, wellness and safety of everyone in the
Marymount community has been our top priority,” said Irma Becerra, Marymount
president. “Now, we must all work together to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 — our
collective health and safety is a shared responsibility.”
