WINONA, Minn. – The traditional one-week Spring Break at Winona State has been cancelled. The university’s chief academic officer, Darrell Newton, said the decision will reduce the potential spread of COVID-19. Instead there will be three non-class days scattered through the semester: Wednesday, February 10; Tuesday, March 9; and Wednesday, March 31. Final exams will be moved up a week to April 26-29
March madness
Last March, as COVID awareness was just taking hold, many students proceeded with Spring Break travel plans, spreading and catching the virus before returning to campus.
