## Department of Historic Museums

The Department of Historic Museums presents the following plan to resume operations during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The following bullet points assume that the campus will resume operations, with in person classes or on a limited basis. These options allow for the earned revenue and the recall of our part-time student staff. Should operations remain virtual through the Fall, the museum will reengage in virtual programming and focus on engaging stakeholders through web videos, social media engagement, virtual tours, and virtual exhibitions. Staff will be allowed on staff sporadically to monitor collections, climate control systems, and to maintain the museum’s live collections. Student staff would be furloughed in this scenario and site operations will be maintained by the full- time staff.
