[sawcon title="What about campus events?"] Large events (since this definition and guidance are changing regularly, large events will be defined as fall 2020 begins) significantly increase the risk of transmission of COVID-19. Therefore, decisions that would entail large gatherings must be approved in advance and will be closely evaluated. An emphasis on outdoor events will occur with appropriate social distancing and adherence to all safety and health guidelines across the University’s campuses and facilities, as outdoor events reduce the risks of viral transmission. The University will continue to determine which events and meetings can be changed to virtual events. Events that occur on CU campuses, or are officially approved events, will meet all safety and health guidelines, including, but not limited to, group and individual visits to campus. These guidelines are also strongly recommended for any off-campus student social event. Capacity and social distancing measures will be determined, using all state and federal health guidelines, for future on-campus events. All events must be authorized and approved by area Vice Presidents before announcement of any events are made public.
