Midwestern University is carefully monitoring the latest developments regarding the coronavirus and has developed a purpose-driven, integrated plan that addresses the safety and security needs of faculty, staff, students, and the community we serve. The Midwestern University Response Team, led by Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Midwestern University, has set a course for the University’s actions based on the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health departments. Key factors in their decision-making process include the development of health screening protocols, ongoing sanitation of all facilities, and enhanced training and procedures for the health and safety of all.
The clinics have remained open for emergency care and comprehensive healthcare services. The health and safety of our patients is our top priority, and we have increased our already vigorous cleaning protocols, adopted the best practices for patient safety, and implemented appropriate social distancing.

The University has already hosted successful virtual orientation programs for new students and virtual commencement ceremonies to celebrate the significant accomplishments of our graduates. Many of our classes will remain in an online format with faculty mentoring students throughout their coursework. The University have welcomed additional students to our campuses for classes this fall and winter. The University will continue to monitor the health and safety of our campus community and implement additional strategies to provide a safe learning environment for all.
Many Midwestern faculty and staff who provide essential services have been working on our campuses, while others have been working from home. We are now able to gradually return more faculty and staff to campus based on a schedule that meets operational and student needs. Prior to returning to campus, members of the University community received additional training about safety standards, new health procedures, and expectations to ensure the University is meeting or exceeding public health guidelines.
Midwestern University has implemented a careful and comprehensive plan, knowing that the well-being, health, and safety of our community comes first. We have returned to an active and thriving campus.
All members of the Midwestern University community should notify the appropriate person, as set forth below, if they are diagnosed with COVID-19.
