The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to an unprecedented past few days in our country with widespread cancellations and closures creating large- and small-scale disruptions to daily life. Governments and institutions are working hard to prevent the spread of the virus, and Spalding is no exception.
There remains no known case of COVID-19 on campus, but the safety of our students, faculty and staff remains our paramount concern. In addition to moving all face-to-face classes online from March 16 to April 5 and having on-campus residential students move out of the of the residence halls, Spalding has canceled or postponed many campus events in the coming weeks.
Spalding’s Commencement ceremony at Canaan Christian Church is still on schedule for June 6, 2020.
