Allegheny College Welcomes Students Back to Campus for Spring Semester

Allegheny College welcomed residential students back to campus for Module 2 of the spring semester during a staggered move-in Feb. 18–25.

President Hilary L. Link, members of the College’s senior leadership team, faculty and staff greeted students and families at their residence halls, helping them move their belongings in for the semester. Before arriving, students completed an at-home COVID-19 test and were subsequently tested in person on their move-in day; testing will continue throughout the semester.

“We’re very grateful for the support and partnership of our students and families during move-in, especially as many faced challenges due to severe winter weather that affected much of the country,” said April Thompson, vice president of student life and dean of students. “It truly was a team effort that involved everyone on campus, and we are looking forward to building on the success of the fall semester as our residential students return to in-person living and learning for the spring.”

Protocols developed by the Allegheny College Health Agency are in place to keep the campus community as safe and healthy as possible. During the fall semester, the College kept its COVID-19 infection rate under 1 percent, through the efforts and commitment of students, faculty and staff.

The spring semester began Jan. 19 with a remote three-week module during which students took one course. Module 2 classes began on Feb. 23.
