ANGOLA, IN - Tuesday morning Trine University President Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D announced that Trine University plans to resume normal campus operations in August. 

In email messages to students, parents, faculty and staff, Brooks said this will mean fully seated classes, full resumption of student activities and welcoming back fans and family to athletic events.

COVID-19 positivity rates have remained near or below 1 percent on the Trine campus throughout the spring semester. Currently the university has a 0.8% positivity rate, with more than 6,000 tests conducted since students returned in mid-January. Brooks said university decisions will continue to be informed by local, state and federal guidelines. 

As the university prepares to enter the second half of the spring semester, Brooks praised the Trine community for its efforts and encouraged students and staff to keep their guard up.
