Dear 性欲社 students, staff and faculty,
|
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to complete the . To date, over 400 employees and students have attested to their vaccination status. Knowing 性欲社 vaccination rates will be helpful to our planning and management of campus operations in the coming semester. The data won鈥檛 be comprehensive, given that attestation is voluntary, but the more individuals who are willing to share their status, the better we will be able to plan the cadence of pop-up vaccination clinics and determine other ways we can encourage vaccination and support community health.

We continue to monitor CDC guidance, local conditions, and state and federal actions as well as our capacity to address COVID-19 on our campuses. Due to extremely limited health care facilities in Bethel and the communities they serve, vaccines will be required for any student who chooses to live in the residence hall at our Kuskokwim Campus in Bethel. We continue to consider adding the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of vaccinations required for those students choosing to live in our residence halls on the Troth Yeddha鈥� Campus. We are also evaluating the need for a COVID-19 vaccine requirement in other units, including but not limited to our collegiate athletics program.

Please resume masking, wash your hands frequently and continue to utilize other protective measures. If you need more cleaning supplies for your departments or units, you can order them through Facilities Services鈥� .
