We’re at three weeks away from the end of the spring semester and counting. Today’s DOS update will feature Campus Status webpage updates, information on obtaining second doses of COVID-19 vaccines, Nocturne, the Stressbusters calendar, and end of semester Student Government Association (SGA) buses.
Since our earlier announcement about fall planning, we have grown steadily more optimistic about the fall semester. We anticipate we will have a fully vaccinated campus by that time, which will allow us to return to a much more normal experience, including in-person classes, a vibrant social life, and athletics.
This week marked a milestone in our pandemic journey, as we have begun our on campus vaccination efforts in partnership with the Vermont Department of Health.
We are writing with some important information about COVID-19 vaccination opportunities on campus today, tomorrow, and next week, as well as new federal guidance for vaccinated people.
We are writing with an update about our campus visitor policy and a change in state of Vermont guidelines that allows us to resume limited in-person tours for admitted students.
We are writing with some important updates about the 2021 Commencement ceremony, including changes to the format, guest policy, senior move-out date, and final examinations.
This week’s DOS update focuses on a small but welcome change in Vermont’s vaccination plan for college students, clarifications around work and research on campus this summer, Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, opportunities for self care, outdoor recreation, and more.
