Protecting One Another by Preferring One Another
ATHLETICS In conjunction with the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference as well as various other colleges and institutions in our area, we have decided to postpone our fall sports season, including Men’s and Women’s Soccer and Women’s Volleyball. We are working with the conference and other non-league opponents to move these sports to a spring season. Specifics on this spring season are still being worked on and will be released when they are available. No athletes will need to arrive to school early and can instead plan on arriving on the regular student leadership or opening weekend dates. At this point, we are still hoping to have Men’s and Women’s Basketball seasons and Women’s Softball operate on schedule; however, we will continue to evaluate the situation and adjust as needed. The health and safety or our student athletes, fans, staff and community is our highest priority, and we will continue to make adjustments to our athletics program as needed. MINISTRIES PLAN Our ministries this fall are still being evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Many of the local churches that we work with are still meeting primarily online. Many events that we typically partner with have already been cancelled, while others are waiting to see how the situation continues to develop. We will be evaluating the safety and viability of all events as they grow closer and announcing changes as applicable. We are in the middle of re-imagining what student ministry will look like, with many of these live events and church partnerships put on hold this fall. Several opportunities have already
become available for things like online counseling and evangelism in partnership with Groundwire and Dare to Share. We are also in the process of retooling our training and ministry plans to place a focus on students sharing their testimonies on social media, podcasting, and local service opportunities in areas that we can be confident are safe to operate in. CAMPUS ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS Our Campus Events Team is looking forward to an incredible year. As we continue to navigate and make plans while staying in compliance with current guidelines on gathering sizes, social distancing, etc., you can be confident that our Creative Events Team will be taking full advantage of having students on campus more often for the fall! Even with social distancing protocol, our team is planning activities, intramural sports, pop- up parties, and some new opportunities to engage our students with a focus on smaller group events.
