Grove City College will open as scheduled Aug. 24 for the fall semester.

However, the college will put protocols in place to protect the health and safety of students, employees and the larger community during the coronavirus pandemic, according to Paul McNulty, the college’s president.

McNulty has assembled a cross-disciplinary Fall Return Planning Committee.

Best practices involving testing, contact tracing, monitoring, social distancing, separation and enhanced cleaning will be fully considered and addressed by the committee.
