Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. Do Your Part.

There is nothing we want more than for our students to have a rewarding and enjoyable experience this semester. But I cannot stress enough how important it is to hold ourselves and each other accountable. As we head into our first full weekend of the semester, I implore you to take these simple actions to keep yourself and those around you safe and healthy:

  • Wear a mask;
  • Maintain social distance;
  • Get your flu shot;
  • Limit gatherings;
  • Monitor for symptoms and complete the daily health screening;
  • Do not travel outside of Central New York unless deemed essential;
  • Participate in testing and contact tracing procedures immediately and honestly; and
  • Adhere to all directives from state and local authorities and the University.

This semester, like last semester, will present challenges and will demand the very best of each of us. We’ve all had to create new ways to safely socialize, meet new people and engage with familiar faces. I hope you will take advantage of all our campus and surrounding community has to offer by getting involved and perhaps trying something new or outside your comfort zone! Please continue to take care of yourself and each other.

Sincerely,

Robert D. Hradsky, Ed.D.
Vice President for the Student Experience
