Daniel R. Pascale CPP, Executive Vice President, Margolis Healy - Ronnell Higgins, Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety at Yale University
As challenging as Fall semester planning was, the Spring semester will be as challenging or worse. A combination of elevated COVID-19 cases, holiday travel and gatherings, and the arrival of flu season have increased fear and uncertainty of the public health environment that schools will be operating in as students return for the Spring semester. What can schools do to optimize the health of their students and the community at large during the Spring semester?

During the webinar, Dan and Ronell will discuss:
- How higher educational institutions planned their Fall semesters
- What we have learned from Fall semester experience
- What schools are anticipating for Spring semester
- How schools are adjusting their plans
- Recommendations you can take to mitigate harm and maintain a safer learning environment
