While some West Conn student-athletes and other groups will return to campus in mid-August, the University will welcome all students back for classes and activities on August 24th.  West Conn President Dr John Clark says with guidance from the state and the organization that oversees the university system, they are preparing for a full educational experience.  Health and safety are foremost in planning, so Clark says there will be a mix of on-campus and online classes, clubs and other student activities.  The residence halls will be open for students who wish to live on campus, but West Conn is still developing protocols for testing and physical distancing.
