MSU responds to novel coronavirus pandemic
In response to the novel coronavirus outbreak and orders issued by the state and county, MSU is taking several steps to ensure the health of our community. All classes will continue in virtual settings for the rest of the semester, and commencement has been postponed. All students are strongly encouraged to return to their permanent residences, and employees must work remotely when possible. Employees working on campus will be asked health screening questions and should maintain a six-foot distance from other employees. All on-campus research activities deemed non-essential are being stopped, and all construction projects are being suspended.Latest News
