MHEC Coronavirus Update

The Midwestern Higher Education Compact is monitoring the evolution of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and will continue to monitor the situation closely in the coming weeks. Health and safety are our top priority.

At this time of uncertainty and until we hear otherwise, our office remains open. However, we’re encouraging our staff to stay home if they are sick and asking those who travel to do so only if it’s business critical. Currently, any upcoming MHEC-hosted events are taking place as planned. Each will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and we will work closely with our attendees to keep them informed of any changes.

Like many others, we’re taking guidance from the CDC and the World Health Organization. We will work closely with our colleagues and providers to ensure alignment of our events with CDC guidelines.
