“We are confident that fall 2021 will look more like normal campus operations for many reasons. Our successful response to implementing in-person education this academic year is one reason for that confidence."
Ohio Northern University announced on its Facebook that it intends to return to a full on-campus experience in the fall.
The announcement stated that the decision was made by relying on public health guidance and working with state and local officials to pursue learning, living, and working on campus as close to, if not at, pre-pandemic levels.
Continuing: “The university is committed to providing students with an optimal educational environment and looks forward to returning to a traditional semester calendar as well as continuing in-person learning, on-campus living and campus events and activities.
