Our best defense against COVID-19 is for everyone to get vaccinated. We are encouraged by the steadily increasing vaccination rates among our students, faculty and staff with our current approach. We continue to monitor conditions and strongly encourage students, faculty and staff to be vaccinated and wear masks where required.

Vaccination rates are updated Wednesdays by 2 p.m.

Want these rates to increase? Tell us that you're vaccinated. If you're not vaccinated, get vaccinated.
