NDSU President asks students to stay in Fargo during Thanksgiving break

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) -

NDSU’s president is asking students to remain in Fargo during the upcoming holiday break.

In a campus-wide email, Dean Bresciani said because of the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak across the country students are strongly encouraged to not return home for Thanksgiving break.

Bresciani says, “travelling and attending family gatherings will be a sure way of spreading the virus, particularly to older, more vulnerable family members. In addition, we do not want students contracting the virus over the break and returning to campus with it.”

To make that easier, NDSU is keeping the residence halls open at no additional cost to the students.

Students need to notify their Residence Life staff about staying.
