Blackhawk Technical College will once again be requiring students and staff to wear masks.  BTC Marketing and Communications Director Jennifer Thompson says masks will be required in classrooms and labs.  Thompson says these areas are typically smaller and more difficult to socially distance.  She says the goal is to help protect the unvaccinated.  Thompson also attributes the cooperation of students and COVID-19 protocols last year with keeping the campus open throughout the pandemic.  Fall classes begin in two weeks.
