COVID-19 Statement from the School of Physical, Recreation & Health Education
The School of Physical, Recreation, and Health Education would like to assure you we are taking all precautions to protect our students during this time of the pandemic. Specifically, our internship and practicum students have been instructed to follow all precautions required by their agency and MJC for their health and security. We will monitor all developments and remain in contact with these agencies to ensure the safety and well-being of each student. Most site supervisors are working with us on alternative plans for students to complete their required hours. The faculty are also working to ensure options to complete the course if the internship and/or practicum has been canceled. All students have been instructed to report any safety concerns to their professors. We encourage you to visit our website for the most updated information. We will communicate changes as they arise. The security and success of our students is always our priority.
