The number of active cases of COVID-19 continues to decline in our community. That tells me that we are doing a great job of wearing our masks and maintaining appropriate distances. Let’s keep that up! If you are able to work and learn from home, please do so. Be sure to complete the COVID-19 questionnaire before coming to campus and wear your mask on campus. 

We are resilient. We are innovative. We are united. We are ChattState.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Ashford, Ed.D.
President
