Dear 精品成人福利在线 University Community:<\/p>\n

Vaccination is the best defense we have against COVID-19, and as we prepare to return to an on-campus academic year, it is vitally important for the safety of our campus community that as many of us as possible are vaccinated.<\/p>\n

As you are aware, we have mandated vaccination for our students, and the University continues to encourage all employees in the strongest possible terms to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

As of today, more than 80% of students and full time employees are vaccinated. That is good news, but our goal must be<\/strong> to get the whole campus as close to 100% vaccinated as possible.<\/p>\n

Consistent with state law, they may request a waiver for medical or religious reasons.<\/p>\n

For more information on how new hires should submit proof of vaccination or request an exemption, please visit this page<\/a> on the Human Resources website.<\/p>\n

Continuing employees who have been vaccinated should upload a copy of your vaccination card to the Vax Check<\/a> portal as soon as possible.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Starting Monday, August 16<\/strong> employees who have not furnished the University with proof of complete vaccination will be required to adhere to the following protocols:<\/p>\n
