Belton, Texas – Officials at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor have announced that UMHB will reopen for classes as scheduled on Monday, March 16.
“There are no confirmed cases of the COVID-19 virus within Bell County or the UMHB community. Accordingly, we are not opting to extend Spring Break, suspend on-campus classes, or move entirely to online classes at this time,” said President Randy O’Rear. “We have been in contact with and will continue to follow the advice of public health officials to protect the health and well-being of our community.
“We are aware that some universities are closing and/or moving to online classes, based on what’s happening in their cities and on their campuses. UMHB has also considered these options and will implement them if necessary,” said O’Rear. “In the meantime, campus activities and events will be held as planned. We will communicate any changes or cancellations, should they occur, via the university website at umhb.edu.”
