In addition to the safety measures highlighted at <a href=\"http:\/\/nmc.edu\/keepsafe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nmc.edu\/keepsafe<\/a>, we will be monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic closely and its potential impact at NMC. Despite our safety efforts, we may see cases on campus this semester. If we do, we will report them to you via email and on the <a href=\"http:\/\/nmc.edu\/covid-cases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">COVID-19 cases webpage<\/a> to keep you aware of possible campus exposures. We are also developing a dashboard for that same webpage to monitor the impact of the virus on our campuses. In addition to that, we want you to know what information we are monitoring that may influence the College&#8217;s reopening stage. You can read that information below.<\/p>\n<p>For the latest updates and additional resources, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nmc.edu\/coronavirus<\/a>.

These guidelines cover most situations and will be revised as our understanding of COVID-19 changes. This is an evolving situation and NMC has many unique programs and departments. This document is designed to set out a broad, campus-wide view and may require adjustments to meet the needs of specific areas, in collaboration with the Reopening Committee. These guidelines are intended to decrease the risk of disease spread, but cannot eliminate all risk. We encourage NMC partners and affiliated organizations to consider these as well.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/student-services\/keep-safe\/decision-triggers.html\">Learn more here \u00bb<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning NMC community, As we begin the fall semester it is important for you to know we are committed to your safety.
