Bergen Community College: Bergen Ready For College Community To Return

Press release from the Bergen Community College:

• Reopen all campus facilities, offices and resources for faculty and staff in preparation for the fall semester while maintaining some high-performing virtual/online/remote functions;
• Reinstitute on-campus activities, events and gatherings sponsored by groups such as the Anna Maria Ciccone Theatre, STEM Student Research Center and student life; and
• Continue to rely on guidance from federal, state and county health officials regarding best practices for health and safety – including face mask usage for the unvaccinated and thorough contact tracing protocols.
