Shortly after the outbreak of COVID-19 started in Seattle, WA, Robert D. Morris ’74, a physician and environmental epidemiologist who lives ten miles from the first nursing home hit by the virus and just up the hill from the second, began publishing a blog, Covid-19 - Ground Zero, which can be found at drbobmorris.com.
The Admission Office hosted a successful virtual revisit day on March 27, which featured interactive panel discussions and student musical performances to provide accepted students with real-life picture of a Hotchkiss education.
In Bill Fenton’s co-curricular, nine students built electric guitars from scratch in the Class of 2017 EFX Lab, using a kit provided by Guitar STEM that included a rectangular block of wood and all the necessary hardware.
An update on Hotchkiss's response to the COVID-19 health crisis.
In response to COVID-19 guidelines by the State of Connecticut as well as the CDC:
The Hotchkiss School's schedule of arts events for spring 2020 has been canceled until further notice. This includes all concerts, recitals, plays, and exhibits in the Tremaine Art Gallery.
If the policy should change, an update will be posted here. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
