INDOOR MASK MANDATE UNCHANGED
Citrus College will keep in effect its indoor mask policy amid laxed mask mandates by the county, the Citrus College Superintendent/President said in a memo on Feb. 25.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health decided on Feb. 25 to make wearing a mask indoors at “establishments, businesses and venues” optional. This decision came in response to the declining COVID-19 positivity rates, number of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations in the county.
Superintendent/President Greg Schulz said after consulting with various campus leaders and advice from medical experts, that Citrus’ indoor mask policy will remain unchanged at this time.
Although the campus indoor mask policy will not change along with the county, Schulz said in the memo, “Citrus College will continue to closely monitor the status of the pandemic and will communicate any changes to our safety protocols as appropriate in the future.”
SUMMER RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Citrus College is hosting a Summer Research Experience program for students in STEM, and applications are now being accepted.
Throughout this program, students will put together research posters that will be exhibited at one (and possibly more) research symposiums. Students will be able to gain experience in working in a collaborative environment, and gain more insight on scientific investigation.
Students would be paid (up to $5,000), but there are a few commitments and qualifications required. Students looking to apply to this program must be ready to commit full-time to this program from the weeks of June 20-August 12, 2022. They also must attend the program evaluation elements and be present at the Research Symposium at Citrus College that will take place in fall 2022.
