“Our team has been working since March on a plan to provide a safe educational environment for our students and employees. Crowder College and Missouri Southern State University have many similar issues to address and each school also has unique issues to consider. Studying the data in the region and determining whether to wear face coverings was a common issue where both schools could collaborate and determine the best solution for higher education in Southwest Missouri,” stated Dr. Glenn Coltharp, president of Crowder College.
Safety measures at both institutions include increased cleaning and disinfecting of all areas in a effort to keep campus as safe as possible.
