Press release from West Chester University: May 11, 2021 Dear West Chester University Student, Governor Wolf's recent announcement about the lifting of COVID restrictions has all of us at WCU very excited for an in-person fall semester that will provide the traditional collegiate experience in an environment that we are committed to keeping safe and healthy. Rams are ready to reengage this fall and you can look forward to in-person experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. We are prepared to welcome all of you to campus on Monday, August 30, 2021! With the abundance of vaccines that are now available, we are thrilled that students, faculty, and staff have been or are in the process of getting vaccinated. While not a requirement, we are happy that so many see the value of the vaccine as a way to protect our community and our Golden Ram community. To date, approximately 42% of PA residents have been vaccinated and it is anticipated that soon 70% of PA residents will be fully vaccinated. If you have not been vaccinated yet, we strongly encourage you to do so. This fall, you can expect: We know that you have questions. Please see our updated FAQs and know that we continue to work around the clock to prepare for your safe arrival in the fall. Treating you like gold will always be our first priority. Sincerely, Christopher Fiorentino President Details about WCU's fall move-in to on-campus residences will be distributed in the next several weeks. The University continues to work with shared governance members, union leadership, student leaders, and employees to ensure a safe learning and working environment that maintains academic rigor, provides accessibility for all, and ensures the success of West Chester University students.
