Aloha Hon CC Students, Faculty and Staff:
Yesterday President Lassner announced changes to COVID-10 related restrictions in physical distancing that would be lifted, based on new State and County regulations.
We are excited to welcome more students back in person on our campus. As you know, our offices have remained physically and virtually open throughout the restricted time to give our prospective and current students access to as many services as possible, and we are thankful for the tremendous work done by our frontline staff and faculty. However, as we transition to lifting restrictions and as more students return to the campus, we want to ensure that the safety of everyone in our community remains a priority.
Per my earlier announcement, at Hon CC, we will adhere to 3-foot distancing in our classrooms, although there may be exceptions granted depending on the size and type of class. All individuals must continue to wear masks indoors. Those who are outdoors are not required to wear a mask, but we encourage it when in close proximity to others. The use of the LumiSight UH app to track vaccination status and the daily health check will remain as well. If any of you are not feeling well, please remain at home.
Together with the other UH campuses we will be monitoring the emerging Omicron variant and its impact on our community. We remain hopeful that we can provide more in-person activities and events in the near future, but we must all remain vigilant, making the health and safety of ourselves and others a priority, to make that happen! Thank you for all of your resilience and hard work during a challenging time.
Mahalo,
Karen Lee
