Greetings, Grizzlies!
This message is a follow up to President Prather’s video released last week. As indicated, we are collecting information on students’ vaccination status so we can continue to make the best possible decisions regarding students’ health and safety. While we are not requiring students to receive the vaccine, there may be restrictions and limitations for unvaccinated students. Please see below for an indication of some distinctions that will be made between vaccinated and unvaccinated students; these distinctions are in place only to ensure student safety and subject to change pending additional guidance from the CDC or local health officials:
We anticipate that students who are fully vaccinated in the fall:
Conversely, we anticipate that students who are unvaccinated in the fall:
All students who have uploaded documentation of full vaccination (2 doses of Pfizer or Moderna, or 1 dose of Johnson & Johnson), will be entered into a raffle to win prizes including:
(10) $100 gifts card to the bookstore
(2) Designated parking spots in residential parking
(1) free meal plan for the year
ALL students, regardless of vaccine status: please use the following link to indicate your vaccination plans and status and to upload your vaccination documentation if appropriate: Vaccination Status Form (forms-db.com)
As always, please let me know if you have questions. We can’t wait to see you back on campus in the fall for a more normal semester. In the meantime, enjoy your summer!
