Easy Tips for Staying Safe

Keeping yourself and those around you safe and healthy is simple and selfless. Take these easy steps to help our community mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

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

We continue to recognize what a different experience it is being a college student during the time of COVID. Different can still be fun. Different can still be rewarding. And different can challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone!

I strongly encourage you to try something new this weekend, say hi to someone you’ve never met or explore a part of our community you haven’t experienced before. Syracuse University and our neighbors throughout Onondaga County have so much to offer; please take full advantage of all those opportunities.

Sincerely,

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