High school and junior high athletic directors thought they had a good plan going into the new school year on how to handle the coronavirus pandemic as it relates to competition, but after Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s press conference on Wednesday, everything changed. A strict mask wearing mandate was put in place for indoor sporting events. That press conference also forced some Illinois colleges to change their plans, as well. Monmouth College Associate Vice President of Student Life and Co-Dean of Students Karen Ogorzalek says she’s excited about student-athletes coming back to campus, no matter what has to be done.
There is a virtual town hall meeting for Monmouth College students and parents scheduled for Monday night at 7:00 to address questions about the covid-19 plan for the upcoming school year.
