COVID-19

For Fall 2021, we are pleased to be serving you from our new facility, The Center for Well-Being. We are located in Room 119, in the back left corner of the first floor, if you enter from the main doors. Our hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. To decrease staff density and mitigate COVID transmission, about 50% of the staff will be teleworking each weekday and 50% on-site. Thank you for your patience as we work to fill staff vacancies. Masks are required in the office and patrons should maintain adequate social distancing.
