News Corona Virus Update March 11, 2020 As a smaller college with a single location, thus far we have been able to effectively maintain a safe space. Cogswell has taken multiple steps to ensure the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff including the following: Enhanced daily cleaning of the campus Added hand sanitizer units throughout the college Limited events to a maximum 25 people Activated our Safety and Emergency Response Committee for contingency planning In the event there is a confirmed case or we are made aware of an exposure, we will immediately notify all constituents and outline next steps. In the meantime, classes will continue as scheduled. March 9, 2020 From the Provost & Chief Academic Officer Dear Cogswell Community, I hope the spring semester is progressing nicely. The safety of our community continues to be a primary focus of the College. With all the attention in the news media regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19), I ask everyone to help prevent its spread (as well as any other infectious illnesses) by observing a few simple procedures. Wash your hands regularly with warm/hot water and soap for 20 seconds (the amount of time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice). If soap is not available, use a hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your bare hands. Cover your cough with a tissue, handkerchief, or your elbow. Don’t use your bare hand—remember, you’re trying to keep the germs off your hands! If you feel yourself coming down with flu-like or cold-like symptoms do not come to campus. Seek medical advice and isolate yourself from others as best you can. I want to also make sure you are all aware of our building access policy as well as remind you of our evacuation procedure in the event of an emergency. Please take note of the following. BUILDING ACCESS All entrances to the building—including the main, front entrance—will remain locked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Current students, faculty, and staff must use their ID badge to gain access to the building at all times. You must wear your badge in a manner that is easily visible while on campus. Students, faculty, and staff who do not have a badge will need to check in at the front desk and be issued a temporary name tag. This name tag will be effective for 24 hours. All Cogswell guests will be required to register at the front desk. They will be issued a name badge to be worn while visiting the campus.These increased security measures will only work if we are all vigilant. Safety is everyone’s business. While on campus, please be observant of those around you. If you see someone in the building without a visible Cogswell ID or a visitor badge, please notify a member of the faculty or staff. Also, be cognizant of those around you while entering the building—do not open the doors or hold doors open for individuals without a visible ID. EMERGENCY EVACUATION Even with these safety measures in place, we recognize that emergency situations may arise. In the event that an emergency requires us to evacuate the building, please: Follow the instructions of staff and emergency personnel Evacuate as quickly and safely as possible via the nearest emergency exit Meet at our designated meeting place, located down Baypointe Pkwy, towards Zanker Road. It looks like a driveway between the two fenced-in portions of land (see gold star in the image below). Staff members will also direct you to this location. It is important that we all meet at this location so that we can ascertain everyone’s safety and wellbeing. Degree Programs What Do You Want To Learn?
