At the November 2021 Linfield University Board of Trustees meeting, the trustees approved a resolution citing the tireless work of Director of Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Patty Haddeland since January 2020. State and county health officials have consistently lauded Haddeland’s efforts and Linfield’s exhaustive planning to keep students and employees healthy throughout the pandemic.
Campus officials and the university’s COVID-19 response team, which includes Haddeland, continue to monitor the pandemic and adapt its response based on close coordination with the Oregon Health Authority and public health officials in Yamhill and Multnomah counties. Linfield currently has a high vaccination rate on both campuses. More than 93% of employees, 94% of McMinnville students and 98% of Portland students are vaccinated against COVID-19.
