The University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service has been monitoring rapidly changing conditions and new information about the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The school’s highest priority is the health and well-being of students, staff, faculty, and the many communities it serves locally and around the world.
With guidance from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Department of State (State), and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), the following changes are being made immediately:
- All in-person classes will be moved online for the remainder of the spring semester
- Public events scheduled for the remainder of the spring semester, including Clinton School Speaker Series programs and the National Community Philanthropy Conference, have been cancelled or postponed, with hopes to reschedule during the 2020-21 academic year
- No international travel will be approved through at least August 31, 2020; that date could be extended depending on health and safety issues
Students will be completing summer International Public Service Projects remotely with their international organizations or will work with a domestic partner.
Graduation plans are currently under evaluation. Students and the public will be updated as needed.
