COVID-19 case rates remain high in our region. Even off campus in stores and other venues where it is not required, please consider wearing your mask indoors to help limit the spread of the virus.
Remember that as someone involved in higher education—as a faculty or staff member or as a student—you are eligible for a COVID-19 booster shot at least six months after your second dose of Pfizer or Moderna or two months after your first dose of Johnson & Johnson.

If you are traveling for Thanksgiving, especially if you will be around vulnerable people, please consider dialing back activity now and getting tested prior to gathering with others. Remember that any gathering increases the risk of infection for everyone.
