The Modern Reopens Campus for Essential Business

Today, May 18, The Modern has begun gradually reopening for essential business operations.

The Modern is committed to meeting the following goals to ensure a safe transition:

• Continue to protect the health of students, employees, and visitors

• Continue to support community efforts to control the spread of the virus

• Create a safe and comfortable environment on campus

From May 18–June 3, essential administrators, student affairs, admissions, financial aid, and marketing staff members will return to campus in phases. Visitors will be invited to campus starting June 8 by appointment only and will be limited to groups of 10. All other employees are asked to continue working remotely.

Prior to the reopening, the campus was deeply sanitized and procedures were developed to protect the health and wellbeing of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Employees and visitors are asked to wear a face-covering or mask and will be required to pass a symptom assessment before entering campus.

The Modern’s summer semester, beginning on June 1, will be offered through remote learning only. The Modern is considering several plans for the fall semester that include in-person, hybrid, remote, and online learning. More details will be release after Governor DeWine provides guidance to institutions of higher education.

If you would like to schedule a tour of campus or a meeting with a staff member, please call 937-294-0592.
