Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our response has been focused on our campus community’s health and safety.
If you feel unwell or are experiencing flu-like symptoms, you should remain at home and, consult with your healthcare provider. Common symptoms are fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea. Wearing a mask is optional but it is your best defense against the virus.
