This is the only significant change to university plans as we prepare to welcome students for the fall 2021 semester.<\/p>\n<p>University leaders, in consultation with the PFW Ready Committee, determined the need for an updated face mask protocol after considering a number of factors, notably the rapidly rising COVID-19 case counts in Indiana and Allen County caused by the Delta variant and the CDC\u2019s new face mask guidance for fully vaccinated individuals. The decision is also driven by the strong recommendation to follow the new guidance from both the Indiana Department of Health and the Allen County Department of Health, as well as the decision by Purdue University, Indiana University, and other colleges and universities around the country to similarly update their face mask protocols.<\/p>\n<p>The university has launched a new website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pfw.edu\/pfw-ready\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PFW Ready<\/a>, that will serve as the hub for the university\u2019s response to COVID-19 going forward. Important information will also continue to be communicated through the university\u2019s newsletter \u2013 Inside PFW (for faculty and staff) and Don Life (for students).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Purdue University Fort Wayne<\/strong><br \/>\nPurdue University Fort Wayne is the largest university in northeast Indiana and is part of the Purdue University system.
