Bemidji State University is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our students, faculty, staff, and members of our campus community. To ensure that, we have developed Back-to-Campus Preparedness Plans in response to the COVID-19 pandemic utilizing guidance offered by the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, supported with information contained in Executive Orders signed by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
As a university, we are all responsible for implementing this plan. Our goal is to mitigate the potential for transmission of COVID-19 at BSU, which requires full cooperation among students, faculty, staff and members of our campus community. With a comprehensive, cooperative effort, we can establish and maintain the safety and health of our campuses.
