As we continue to monitor the latest developments related to the novel coronavirus, our decision making and planning are guided by our sense of responsibility to protect the health and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff. Out of an abundance of caution, the Welcome Center at 72 Fifth Avenue is currently closed, and all activities, including campus tours, have been suspended until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
