COVID - Return to Work
Many UW-La Crosse employees have been working remotely and will begin to return to on-site workspaces over the next few weeks. The health, safety, and well-being of our entire campus community, including our faculty and staff, continues to be the top priority.
Policies, procedures, and expectations related to workplace safety and our return to campus continue to change as new information comes to light, and as Public Health Guidelines change. The COVID-19 Workplace Health & Safety Policy will be updated as needed.
You may continue to learn more in real-time as information becomes available at the university's COVID-19 Information page.
