Drury plans for fall classes on campus
May 6, 2020
Drury University plans to hold classes in person on its campus this fall, just as it has for the last 146 years.
“We will continue to fulfill our mission of educating students and transforming lives here on campus as the semester begins in August,” says Drury President Dr. Tim Cloyd. “While it may look and feel a little different due to any necessary social distancing measures, one thing that will not change is our dual commitment to student success and well-being.”
Drury currently has teams in place to closely examine the issues surrounding re-opening on the scheduled date of August 24. These teams will consider a range of options in order to make sound recommendations based on both the university’s unique needs and strengths as well any and all health and safety guidelines local officials have in place at the time.
“While the current situation presents a challenge for every college and university in the country, Drury is in a unique position to meet this challenge,” says Cloyd. “Our institution has long focused on small, seminar-style classes rather than filling large lecture halls. Our faculty have a fierce commitment to innovative teaching and mentorship. And above all, our campus thrives on a spirit of community that’s strong enough to transcend any amount of social distancing.”
