LACROSSE, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse will go completely to remote learning after Thanksgiving break, Chancellor Joe Gow announced. In a further precaution against the coronavirus, Gow also urged students who choose go home for Thanksgiving to begin a self-quarantine immediately and get tested both before and after the holiday. “Be safe,” he said. Although the university is shifting exclusively online for the remainder of the fall semester, dorms, dining halls, classroom buildings, and other facilities will remain open.

Verbatim

Gow: “COVID-19 has interfered with so many traditions we hold dear, and Thanksgiving is yet another time when we all must remain vigilant and responsible.”
