The Minnesota Department of Health is seeking volunteers for several higher education workgroups who will help form their recommendations as the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve. Three workgroups will be formed to explore the following topics: 1) vaccination efforts for higher ed institutions; 2) commencement ceremonies and new student orientations; and 3) supporting strong faculty/student interaction in distance learning. Workgroups will be responsible for generating ideas that MDH will review, incorporate into guidance, and share more broadly. Faculty and staff are invited to volunteer. Interested individuals should complete this survey by this Friday, January 8. For more information, contact Heidi Droegemueller, hdroegemueller001@luthersem.edu.
