St. John’s University’s COVID-19 entry testing and additional safety protocols ensure a safe learning environment—and Spectrum News NY1 Queens reporter Clodagh McGowan was on the Queens, NY, campus on the first day of the spring semester to highlight the efforts being made to ease concerns.
NY1 visited a theology class featuring a mix of in-person students and remote learners led by Rev. Patrick S. L. Flanagan, C.M., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Theology and Religious Studies, St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and member of St. John’s University’s Board of Governors. Ms. McGowan then observed the COVID-19 testing center in Taffner Field House and the laboratory in nearby St. Albert Hall, where graduate students process the test results.
