“These are critical times for students, and we will continue to be diligent in ensuring and supporting their success during this unprecedented time,” President of Clark State Jo Alice Blondin said. “The safety of our Clark State students and employees is of the utmost importance. We will adhere to the others and guidance set forth by Ohio Governor DeWine to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.”

Blondin said communication is key. She encourages students to keep an open line of communication with their faculty members and employees with their supervisors and check-in frequently for the latest campus updates.
While most Clark State employees will be working from home during this time, essential personnel will report to campus locations to complete business continuity tasks such as payroll and physical plant operations, the statement said.
Respecting the statewide call for physical distancing, events scheduled at the Clark State Performing Arts Center and Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts and Conference Center have also be canceled or postponed through May 10, the statement said, including the commencement ceremony.
The commencement ceremony, originally scheduled for May 9 at the PAC, has been rescheduled for Saturday, Aug. 15.
