Return to Campus Plan Fall 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives, threatened our well-being, and inflicted severe economic loss. Leaving us all to feel anxious about what the future holds. But this unimaginable hardship brings with it an opportunity for the college to affirm our fundamental values and forge a future brighter than ever. As a college we will  confront this crisis directly, with honesty and with informed courage. It is from this perspective that Morrison Tech announces plans to return to person to person classes for the fall semester. As of now, classes are scheduled to begin on Monday, August 24th.

While we cannot eliminate all risk, we will mitigate it in every reasonable way we can.  The rural location of the college, along with the choice to keep a smaller enrollment than other colleges,  places the college in a better place to handle social distancing along with other precautions.  Officials are working on guidelines to ensure students, educators and employees can safely work, learn and live on campus.  

“We have an obligation to our students, our state, and society to continue our important work. As we navigate the coming months, the real measure of our success is not that we just get through this pandemic, but that we emerge from it stronger. I am confident that our Morrison Tech family is up to this task, and I join each of you in eager anticipation of being together again, safely, this fall” President Scott stated.
