COVID Policy
The COVID policy for our NEH Summer Institute will follow the guidelines of the CDC and the State of Ohio. As we know, these often change in accordance with evolving health conditions, so they will likely be updated by June. We recommend that participants be vaccinated and boosted (when eligible) and take a COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arrival. We also urge participants to follow common sense public health guidelines (no large indoor gatherings, social distancing, etc.) while outside of Miami University facilities.
