President Houshmand and Board declare state of emergency

The Rowan University Board of Trustees, at the recommendation of President Ali A. Houshmand, has declared the University in a state of emergency, allowing the University to quickly respond to the evolving COVID-19 outbreak.

The declaration, which follows the declaration of a state of emergency by Gov. Phil Murphy on March 9, by President Trump on March 13, and by the Gloucester County Office of Emergency Management on March 16, does not change the operating status of the University, which remains open. The declaration enables the University to respond to the broad issues surrounding COVID-19; to ensure that we are focused on the health and safety of our students, staff and community; and to uphold our mission to provide education to our students while taking appropriate steps to slow the spread of COVID-19.
