April showers bring May flowers, and October surveys bring March breaks.
After polling the university’s students and staff, Northwestern officials have decided to keep spring break in place next semester amid the pandemic.
Universities across the United States have canceled their spring breaks in the hopes that keeping students from leaving campus will reduce their exposure to the coronavirus.
In an email to students on Friday, Northwestern President Janet Cunningham said more than 80% of the university’s faculty, staff, and students voted to keep spring break, which will take place March 15 to 19.
Cunningham added, however, that the university could change the schedule for next semester if needed.
