Institutions may engage in training and conditioning activities as appropriate during this time while adhering to local, state and national health guidelines and NCAA regulations.

Elissa Heil, dean of the faculty, and Jean Hoover, the registrar, are pleased to announce the 258 students who made it onto the Dean’s List for spring 2020.
