Concussion Recovery Support
If a head injury or possible concussion is witnessed and/or suspected in class, rehearsal, performance, or has been reported as having occurred outside of campus buildings, students, faculty, and staff, must follow a mandatory reporting protocol to facilitate prompt and safe return to class and movement. The protocol is available through the following link:
Please note that as our team continues to develop research on return-to-performance, the protocol may be adjusted to reflect most up-to-date best practices.
