    • Overview

    Lewis University Frontgate

    The health and wellbeing of our campus community remains our highest priority. Our students and faculty are currently working side-by-side in the classroom, online and in hybrid modalities while maintaining guidelines set forth by the CDC and the State of Illinois.
    Our response will recognize that while the virus remains present in society, the community spread and stress on our healthcare systems have been significantly reduced.

    • Lewis University will be mask optional and mask friendly in all spaces on our campuses, unless posted otherwise.
    • The members of our community are strongly encouraged to stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations. We will follow state orders and guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding vaccinations as they evolve over the next year.
    • The members of our community are expected to follow all aspects of the Flyers Promise
