(LSU Eunice Press Release)
Effective tomorrow, Monday, June, 15, 2020 the LSU Eunice campus will move into Phase 3 of reopening. The main addition to this phase will be the reopening of campus to students and the public – on a limited basis.
As outlined below, departments are encouraged to have these two groups of people on the LSUE campus by appointment only to minimize the volume of people at one time.
If there are multiple people trying to be serviced at the same time, it is recommended that the LSUE staff take a contact number and have people wait in their vehicle until called to come in or reschedule for another time.
A reminder to all those visitors to the LSUE campus – mask use is encouraged at all times, as well as following proper social distancing guidelines. In addition, OGH Well Smart is open to accepting patients. A specific screening and appointment protocol has been established by clinic personnel to limit exposure and still provide medical services.
At this time, LSUE’s police and security, grounds crew, custodial staff and athletic department are fully on campus while practicing physical distancing requirements. The LSUE cabinet and office staff are also on campus, but with remote work and staggered schedules still optional. Faculty have access to campus and are encouraged to continue remote work during the summer semester, which is fully online this year.
