Public Education and Awareness

The Public Education and Awareness Subcommittee has developed strategies and materials to communicate changes in operations, expectations and health information in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Physical and digital signage

Signage across campus and on digital platforms is designed to provide instructions and encourage members of the campus community to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Take the “Are You Ready?” Pledge
