Off-Campus Life & Engaging with the Local Community
Our response to the pandemic is an opportunity to engage with our ideals of not only thinking about others, but acting for others. This extends to the Tivoli, Red Hook, Kingston and greater Dutchess and Ulster County communities. We expect that all students will take great care when interacting with our neighbors. Students should refrain from travel, including within the Hudson Valley region, unless absolutely necessary. New York State requires face coverings inside all public buildings and businesses and on sidewalks in town. Students will be held accountable for following local and NYS regulations and law.
