We blinked and now it's the last week of April!
We encourage you to get the vaccine if it becomes available to you. Don’t forget we still need to wear our masks, keep our distance, and please continue to get tested! Even if you have received one or both vaccination doses, we want everyone to continue to get tested and follow COVID-19 safety protocols.
During these difficult times, please continue to remind students of the resources we have available, including SilverCloud, that offers self-guided programs for anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, and resilience. It is also free for faculty and staff. Learn more
