| GENERAL EXPLANATORY STATEMENT REGARDING THE COVID-19 IMPACT ON THE COLLEGE | THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19 RESULTED IN THE DISRUPTION OF ACTIVITIES AND HISTORICALLY ROUTINE PRACTICES ACROSS NUMEROUS SECTORS OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY. THE COLLEGE, SIMILAR TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, CONTINUES TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE RESULTING CHALLENGES. AS THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC TOOK SHAPE IN LATE FEBRUARY 2020, THE COLLEGE RESPONDED QUICKLY TO ESTABLISH A COVID-19 RESPONSE TEAM TO LEAD EFFORTS IN SUPPORT OF THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ALL MEMBERS OF ITS CAMPUS. BEFORE THE 2020-21 ACADEMIC YEAR BEGAN, FACULTY AND STAFF SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS DEVELOPING PLANS THAT COULD ACCOMMODATE A RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE FOR A PORTION OF STUDENTS, BUT THAT ALSO REFLECTED THE REALITY THAT MUCH OF THE COLLEGE'S WORK AND INTERACTION WOULD NEED TO BE VIRTUAL. THANKS TO THIS PLANNING, THE COLLEGE WAS ABLE TO SIGNIFICANTLY DE-DENSIFY ITS ON-CAMPUS HOUSING, HOSTING ROUGHLY 450 STUDENTS EACH TERM INSTEAD OF THE MORE TYPICAL NUMBERS APPROACHING 1,150. SPACES THAT WERE ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER WERE RECONFIGURED TO PROMOTE SOCIAL DISTANCING, SIGNAGE WAS INSTALLED TO REMIND EVERYONE ABOUT WEARING A MASK, NEW CLEANING PRACTICES WERE ADOPTED, AND THE COLLEGE ADMINISTERED THOUSANDS OF COVID TESTS, WITH PROTOCOLS TO IDENTIFY AND MITIGATE VIRUS SPREAD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. STUDENTS WERE HOUSED IN SINGLE ROOMS; TWO OF THE COLLEGE'S DORMITORIES WERE SET ASIDE AS QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION SPACES; MEALS WERE SERVED "GRAB AND GO", AND TENTS WERE PROVIDED FOR OUTSIDE INSTRUCTION. THESE WERE BUT A FEW OF THE MYRIAD LOGISTICAL MEASURES IMPLEMENTED TO ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY. AS A RESULT THE COLLEGE HAD AN OVERALL POSITIVITY RATE WELL BELOW 1% AND WAS HIGHLIGHTED IN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FOR ITS EFFORTS AND RESULTS. THE COLLEGE RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $4,675,946 IN FUNDING UNDER THE HIGHER EDUCATION EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND (HEERF) IN THREE ROUNDS OF FUNDING. THE THIRD ROUND WAS AWARDED THROUGH THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN LEGISLATION, AND THE COLLEGE EXPENDED $2,347,384 OF THE $2,393,321 AWARDED IN THE 2021-2022 ACADEMIC YEAR. $1,173,692 WAS USED TO ASSIST QUALIFYING STUDENTS FOR THE FALL 2021 AND SPRING 2022 TERMS WHICH IS REFLECTED AS GRANTS PAID OUT TO INDIVIDUALS ON FORM 990, SCHEUDLE I, PART III, AND AN EQUAL AMOUNT WAS USED TO OFFSET LOST REVENUE FROM THE LOWER NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO WERE ABLE TO LIVE ON CAMPUS DURING THE EARLY PERIODS OF THE PANDEMIC. WHILE THE DURATION OF THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC REMAIN UNKNOWN, THE COLLEGE'S PLAN FOR OPERATING IN 2023 AND BEYOND REFLECTS STRICT ADHERENCE TO NEW YORK STATE EXECUTIVE ORDERS, AGENCY GUIDANCE AND PROTOCOLS AS WELL AS CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF LOCATION AND THE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES OF THE CAMPUS TO ENSURE A CONTINUITY IN THE CORE ELEMENTS OF THE COLLEGE'S EDUCATIONAL MISSION. THE COMPREHENSIVE IMPACT ON THE COLLEGE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS DIFFICULT TO FORECAST DUE TO ITS DYNAMIC NATURE AND RAPIDLY EVOLVING EFFECTS. THE COLLEGE IS CONTINUING TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AND IS PREPARED TO REACT TO ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS OR DIRECTIVES THAT MAY BE TAKEN BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, NEW YORK STATE, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, AND CITY OF YONKERS AUTHORITIES TO CONTAIN OR MITIGATE FUTURE PROPAGATION OF THE VIRUS.
