Grambling State to gradually reopen campus for employees in June

GRAMBLING, La. (KNOE) - Grambling State University says it will soon begin to reopen its campus to employees.

In a news release posted on their website, they announced plans to gradually resume on-campus work for team members beginning June 2020. They say details of the plan will be made available to employees in the coming week.

"Taking this gradual approach to bring teams back to campus for work will help us ensure that every single team member becomes familiar with new campus-wide safety procedures," said President Rick Gallot. "As these safety protocols become normalized on campus, we hope the need for them will subside as we near the Fall semester and welcome back our students."

GSU's reopening plans include mandatory temperature scans, the use of face masks, hand sanitizing stations, and limited building entry points across campus.

"In addition to complying with all state and CDC regulations, we are keeping in mind the holistic wellness of our teams," said Lori Williams, Grambling State's Associate Vice President of Operations/CHRO. "Our team members have shown extreme resilience during this unprecedented set of circumstances. We are confident that our collective efforts can help keep campus safe during the transition."
