Many new protocols resulting from COVID-19 are in place, all of which are in keeping with CDC and Commonwealth of Massachusetts regulations. The campus experience for visitors and guests is different and, while we are unable to welcome you to campus, we remain committed to continuing to engage with you virtually and will always be a resource for you.
