Saint Mary’s knows the best way to prepare learners for today’s rapidly changing business world is to expand the way we view business education. Today, preparing business students — graduate or undergraduate — extends far beyond classroom instruction.

Social distancing and wearing masks have become our new normal. Here are two resources to help you as you adjust to these new protocols.

New students are busy moving into their residence halls. It’s wonderful to once again hear the sound of laughter on campus. It’s also reassuring to see everyone is adjusting to and adhering to our social distancing guidelines.

As a university, we are ready. You are now in the driver’s seat; it is up to you to adhere to these guidelines to keep our community safe and to keep everyone on campus. Your actions during these first couple of weeks (but really all semester) could mean the difference between staying in Winona or needing to switch to online learning. We are depending on your partnership.

Here are a few helpful updates and reminders to keep in mind as you start your return to campus.
