Signage and Communications

Efforts to keep our campus safe are a cooperative action. We know that each of us in the Hostos campus community is doing as much as we can for each other's health and safety. Whether it's signage, an email, or a page on our website, we're focused on consistent, accessible, and user-friendly COVID-19 communications.

Signs are there to remind us all about rules for the campus during the pandemic; provide information for specific spaces; and guide the movement of people. The College has posted these signs in all spaces currently unlocked and in use. This includes building entrances; in lobbies, hallways, and stairways; at elevators; at and inside bathrooms; and in classrooms and offices. Signage supports the information on this website and in our COVID-19 Plan. 

Communications will also go out to the campus community through various channels, including the website, email, and social media. Details can be found in our COVID-19 Plan too.
 

Sample signs


Below are a few examples of signs you might find on our campus.
