This semester, no, this year has been a tough one, and although we have seen a lot of struggles, we have seen your students rise to the occasion and overcome the hardships that this year has shown us. We are so proud of your T-Birds and their accomplishments. As we approach finals week your student may need an extra push of motivation to finish. Help them remember why they are here and why it is important. Remind them that they are remarkable people and can finish strong!
Talk to your student about their qualities that can't be measured by tests or grades, these are the things you, as parents & mentors taught them. Remind your students that they are: authentic, thoughtful, caring
kind-hearted, generous, diligent, patient, attentive, courageous, compassionate, strong, grounded, connected, poised, gracious, witty, funny, appreciative, approachable, bright, dedicated, tenacious, positive, willing and able, fortunate, creative, curious, artistic, a critical thinker, and the list goes on. It's important to remind our students that we love them and are proud of them for who they are not for their accomplishments.
Thank you for all you have done to support your T-Bird this semester!
Dates:
Finals Week:4/26-4/29
Summer Term Begins (Full & 1st Session): 5/17/21

COVID-19 Vaccine Update
Starting March 24th, all Utahns 16 years and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. All students that would like to receive the vaccination should work directly with the Southwest Utah Public Health Department and other local locations providing vaccines.
Vaccines are distributed on a first come first serve basis and shipments of the vaccine are limited. Demand is high and it may take several weeks to schedule and vaccinate those currently eligible. For clinic hours and scheduling updates contact the Southwest Utah Public Health Department or join the text notification system by texting “SWUHEALTH” to 888777.
SUU will continue to do randomized COVID-19 testing to help keep our campus community safe. Students will be identified through weekly random sampling and will be emailed with additional information. The testing site is open for students with NO COVID symptoms in the Student Center Ballroom Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Click here for more information on COVID-19. Testing for COVID-19 is available on campus. The tests are free, non-invasive, and self-administered with some help from SUU volunteers.
SUU is not requiring students to get a vaccine now or to come back for Fall semester.
