Northwest College to make mask-wearing optional

Posted: May 24, 2021


Hello Northwest College,

This email is to inform our students, employees and community that starting May 25 the wearing of masks inside NWC buildings will be optional until further notice. We are still monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, following our plan, and will continue to prioritize the health and safety of everyone on campus. We will notify folks as soon as possible if the pandemic shifts and we’re forced to return to more restrictive operations in the future, so please stay abreast of the latest COVID-19 communications on our website at nwc.edu/covid.

We ask that you continue to follow best practices for social distancing and not come to campus if you are ill. While we will no longer mandate the use of masks, we still support and respect the choices of others, whether to wear a mask or not to wear a mask. Our best line of defense for a healthy tomorrow is best practices for health and safety, supporting and working together.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know so we can address any issues that might come up.

Thanks,

Lisa

Lisa Watson

Interim President
