Midwestern University is pleased to report that our protocols to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus on our campuses and at our clinics are proving to be very effective. During the Winter Quarter, both campuses reported a steady decrease in the number of positive COVID-19 cases and a low infection rate overall.
Therefore, Midwestern University’s campuses in Downers Grove, IL, and Glendale, AZ will continue the hybrid learning model for the Spring 2020-2021 academic quarter. This model combines virtual and in-person labs, lectures, and other educational experiences. Due in large part to careful planning by the Midwestern University Response Team and the efforts of everyone at Midwestern University, this model has proven to be successful. As COVID-19 cases continue to decrease and vaccines become more available, Midwestern University looks forward to opening our classrooms, clinics, and facilities to more students, faculty, staff, and patients.
“Due to all of us following the CDC’s recommended guidelines, we have been able to keep our positive cases of COVID-19 to remarkably low numbers,” said Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “While this is indeed cause to celebrate, we must continue to be diligent in caring for our health and the well-being of our family, friends, and colleagues.”
The University will continue to require everyone on our campuses and in our clinics to wear a face covering in all public spaces and in all campus facilities. In addition to maintaining enhanced cleaning protocols, providing additional hand sanitizing stations, installing plexiglass shields in high-traffic areas, and increasing the air exchange in campus and clinic facilities, the University also has taken the following steps to ensure the health and safety of our community:
Midwestern University will continue to monitor the latest developments and recommendations from Federal, State, and Local authorities regarding COVID-19, and will update its plans accordingly.
