The Georgia Department of Public Health has announced there are multiple cases in the state. Agnes Scott College cares deeply about the health and safety of everyone in our campus community. The Crisis Response Team and the President's COVID-19 Advisory Group are working around-the-clock to protect students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Agnes Scott College also continues to work closely with local and state partners to monitor and address this pandemic outbreak.
