GREENWOOD, SC (FOX Carolina) – Lander University announced Friday that it is suspending face-to-face classroom instruction and will begin online instruction for all undergraduate and graduate students beginning March 16 until further notice.

The university said officials are encouraging students to return home, or to remain away from campus, during this period. However, residence halls will remain open and students staying there will continue to receive dining, health, and safety services.

The campus will also remain open, but a telecommuting program for employees is being devised.
