All campus gatherings and events are currently limited to 100 attendees or less, for indoor meetings and events, based on venue capacity, in accordance with New York State guidance. Event spaces are cleaned and disinfected after each use. New event protocols will be implemented to approve and monitor all campus gatherings. To further reduce risks for the campus community, no external visitors who have not approved are permitted to attend any campus gathering or event. Protocols are subject to change based on the evolving situation.

Faculty, staff, and students who are fully compliant with the Institute’s COVID-19 protocols will be allowed to attend fall 2021 sporting events. The general public will not be permitted.

Due to the rise of the COVID-19 delta variant, the following events have shifted to a virtual environment:

• Reunion & Homecoming Weekend (Oct. 8-10) — The weekend will include the Virtual Passport to Rensselaer and virtual signature events, including the Presidential State of the Institute and Presidential Global Game Changers Panel Online. The Rensselaer Scholarship Gala: Virtual Auction will take place Oct. 1-7. The annual in-person scholarship gala will be postponed to next spring. Further details to follow.

• Family Weekend (Oct. 15-17) — The weekend will connect families virtually with Rensselaer staff and faculty members, as well as other students and families. Highlights include the Presidential Kickoff, Honors Convocation, and Rensselaer History and Traditions. The Student Success website will be updated with a full schedule of events as the weekend gets closer.

Rensselaer travel restrictions are still in effect. Exceptions may be granted (i.e., required research trips, travel to athletic competitions, etc.) if consistent with federal, state, and CDC regulations and guidelines. Any travel exception requires approval as delineated in the return to campus plan.
