Protecting Our Community

Fall 2022 COVID Protocol

McPherson College does not require masks inside campus facilities; however, some members of our campus community may be immunocompromised, have young children, or simply prefer masking. Faculty and staff members can establish policies requesting masks in their classrooms or offices. Compliance with these policies is expected. Our on-campus clinic will also require masks for all persons entering that building. It's advisable to keep a mask with you at all times and honor requests from those who prefer others wear a mask in their presence.

The college continues to monitor campus risk and may reinstate corrective measures aimed at limiting the transmission of COVID-19 should cases rise to a substantial level.

If you would like to be vaccinated, you may call the McPherson County Health Department at (620) 241-1753 for an appointment, or you can visit: https://www.vaccines.gov/ to find a location near you.  Vaccinations are free.

Thanks to everyone for their efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on our campus.
