The health and safety of students and teachers are top priorities at WIT. Starting March 1, each class will determine whether masks are mandatory or optional in class, through a student and teacher survey. If everyone in the class agrees, masks will be optional. If even one person requires masks to be mandatory, medical-grade masks (including surgical masks and N-95s) will be required during class.
