Have your recommendations been vetted by epidemiologists and public health experts?
Yes. Moravian University has in-house experts in our public health, nursing, and rehabilitation science programs. We also partner with St. Luke’s University Health Network, one of the premier hospital networks in the nation. The Moravian University Health Center is managed by St. Luke’s, which gives us capabilities and resources often only seen at much larger universities with a medical school. Consequently, we have been in regular contact with their leading infectious disease expert, Dr. Jeffrey Jahre, on key aspects of our plans.
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves guidance from public health authorities and CDC are likely to change. The University will continue to follow the most up to date information on maintaining workplace safety. We will work with students to address all concerns for the most equitable educational experience possible. Any student with questions or who needs additional assistance is encouraged to contact the Office of Disability & Accommodations by emailing oda@moravian.edu or calling (610) 861-1401. Similarly, our employees expect and deserve the safest work environment possible. Employees needing additional assistance are encouraged to contact Human Resources at hr@moravian.edu.
