News & Events

It is amazing how fast time flies. Over the course of the summer term, there has been a beehive of activity across campus as we finished up remodeling projects, installed technology improvements, reconfigured all areas of campus for social distancing, continued fine-tuning our safety protocols, and prepared for Fall term. It has truly been a busy time, but we are very excited to kick-off the new academic year. As we embark on a new semester, we need to remember that COVID-19 remains a threat in our community. Please know that we will do everything we can to keep our students and employees safe this fall.

On July 30, Governor Evers announced a new emergency order mandating facemasks to be worn indoors. This mandate changes little at BTC since we continue to operate in Stage 5 of our reopening plan that requires everyone to be masked.  Since facemasks are required at all Blackhawk locations, the only change will be for employees in open workspaces or cubicles. If not alone in such an area, employees will be required to wear a mask at all times. The only exceptions to the mask order are for those alone in their office or a non-shared workspace or when eating in the Commons. If individuals do not have a mask, they are available at campus entrances. In addition to facemasks, we continue to require physical distancing and have placed many reminders throughout our campuses.
