Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Lynn University began delivering academic programs online March 16, 2020, the residence halls closed March 21, and Lynn's campus closed March 23. Academic services and most other university operations continue virtually throughout Spring and Summer semesters.
To keep parents, students, faculty, staff updated, Lynn set up Lynn Alerts and Coronavirus FAQ. Later, when Lynn decided to resume on-campus classes in Fall 2020, Roadmap to Reopening was created to provide updates.
The contents of this collection represent publicly announced communications from Lynn University - some sent via email, some preserved from Lynn Alerts - chronicling Lynn's response to the pandemic. Note: only emails containing publicly posted information are shared here. The University Archives maintains complete Archives of all distributed communications.
