Goldey-Beacom’s reopening comes on the heels of a $30M campus construction and renovation project. “Our students deserve a memorable college experience. That means opening our residence halls, especially the newest one – Franta Hall, as well as the newly renovated dining facilities for residents, staff and faculty,” said Dr. Colleen Perry Keith in a statement. “We have carefully made our reopening decisions with the understanding and knowledge that all appropriate COVID19 controls are in place and will be utilized by everyone on campus.”

While the College has made the decision to reopen for the spring semester, it is understood that state or federal governance can overrule these decisions if the pandemic worsens in the coming weeks and months.
