SFU once again featured for return to on-campus instruction

Loretto, PA (09/02/2020) — Saint Francis University once again has been featured for its successful return to on-campus instruction this fall. The university was highlighted in April by Wally Boston, President of American Public University System, in his well known blog. Emphasized was its successful transition from in-person instruction to fully remote environment. The blog published an interview with Father Malachi Van Tassell, T.O.R., University President and Dr. Karan Powell, Vice President of Academic Affairs.

Underscored is the institution's implementation of four public health pillars and approved modes of teaching in this new COVID-19 environment.

The blog was published on August 31, 2020. Read the full post here.
