In our commitment to the safety of every student, staff and faculty member, we will err on the side of caution in all that we do. 30-minute breaks will be observed between concerts to keep aerosol production at lower levels. Instructors assigned to unvaccinated students will wear masks during instruction. Class and audience sizes will be adjusted to observe University-established distancing requirements; aerosol producing events (involving wind players and singers) will take place in university recommended spaces and for limited periods of time.
