When the new semester at Ross University begins in September, teaching will be conducted virtually.

However, associate dean of medical sciences, Dr Rhonda McIntyre, said they would consider returning to the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre (LESC) once it’s fully safe to do so.

As a result, most of the 1 300 Ross students flew home to be with their families in various parts of the world where they continued to learn online. (TG)
