SPLICE Music COVID-19 Updates and Information

SPLICE Institute 2025

We are currently planning for SPLICE Institute 2025 to take place in person. That being said, we take COVID-19 very seriously, and will adjust our plans based on current best practices and recommendations from the CDC.

Vaccinations:
All of the faculty and staff for Institute are fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID. Furthermore we are committed to staying current with any vaccinations and boosters as suggested by the CDC. We strongly encourage all participants to do the same before gathering in person.

Mask policy:
We are required to abide by the COVID policies of our host institution, Western Michigan University, which currently states:
”Masks are optional on campus and in University facilities with two exceptions: Sindecuse Health Center and Unified Clinics, which is in accordance with specific CDC and MDHHS guidance for clinical and health care settings. Masks are optional but not required at events.”

Full details can be found here: https://wmich.edu/covid-19. These policies may be updated as the public health situation changes; we will communicate any substantive changes in Western’s policy to prospective and confirmed Institute participants as soon as we learn of them.
