From President Lorraine Sterritt
Dear Saint Michael’s Community,

I hope your summer has been wonderful thus far and that you have more good times planned with friends and family. The new semester is fast approaching, and we wanted to communicate our current health and safety guidelines so that you can prepare for arrival.

As you know well, COVID is still a concern and is prevalent in many communities. While the vaccines and boosters have afforded us all considerable protection from serious complications, getting COVID is still serious for some and unpleasant and disruptive for others. Although we will continue to see cases on campus, our guidelines are intended to minimize those cases and the associated disruptions. Please read this information carefully and reach out to [email protected] with your questions.

COVID-19 Vaccines
As a reminder, Saint Michael’s College requires COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. If you are a new student, you are required to send in your updated vaccine and booster information to [email protected] before arriving on campus. Please do this now so you don’t forget as your to-do list grows approaching move-in time.
