Public Statement from Viterbo University President Glena Temple

While there are currently no cases of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in La Crosse, the situation continues to rapidly evolve across the U.S. and the world. In the interest of the health and safety of all Viterbo University community members and following today’s recommendations by Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, these measures will be implemented at Viterbo:

• Traditional face to face classes are suspended next week, March 16–20, and will begin Monday, March 23, in an online format through April 8. (April 9–13 is Easter break for students.) We will re-evaluate the situation in early April about resuming face to face classes on April 14. Students have been emailed with specific academic information.
• Second half bachelor completion online courses scheduled to begin Monday, March 16 or other graduate or undergraduate online courses currently underway have not been suspended and will be held as scheduled.
• International travel, including study abroad trips, are suspended until May 31.
• Athletic events, competitions and practices are suspended beginning immediately (with the exception of those teams currently finishing their spring break travel) through April 8. The remainder of the season will be evaluated at a later date.
• All Fine Arts Center events are cancelled from March 16–April 8.

We continue to monitor the latest developments regarding this ever-changing issue.
