Northland College
Spring Break Travel
In general, the College discourages students, faculty, and staff from traveling during spring break (April 24 – May 2). Staying on campus or close to Ashland will help to limit transmission of the COVID-19 virus, increasing the chances that our community can stay safe and successfully complete the academic year.
If you must travel, students should complete a COVID-19 travel request if heading beyond a 40-mile radius of Ashland. Each request is evaluated by a team for risk assessment and appropriate follow-up is communicated to each student. It is crucial that students submit travel requests in advance, so that required protocols can be determined and communicated. Submitting a travel request does not mean travel has been approved. Self-quarantine, quarantine, or isolation periods may interfere with May Term courses scheduled to start May 3. Not all courses may be able to accommodate physical absences from classes.

MADISON, Wis. Nearly 300 local law enforcement agencies plan to participate in Drug Take Back Day on Saturday in an effort to give Wisconsinites a “safe, convenient and responsible” way to get rid of any unused prescription drugs.
“Last year, Wisconsin’s Drug Take Back led the nation, and Wisconsinites can help our state remain a national leader in this important effort to fight prescription painkiller abuse,” Attorney General Josh Kaul said. “By bringing your unused and unwanted medications to a drug disposal box, you can help prevent the misuse of prescription drugs.”
