 Students, faculty and staff, as we prepare to welcome you back to campus for an exciting fall semester, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have done and are continuing to do to protect yourself and those in our UA community. I strongly encourage every member of our campus community to become vaccinated. While vaccination is a personal choice, we need everyone working together to ensure we have a safe and successful semester on campus. Once fully vaccinated, you can be proud to know that you've done your part to safeguard the health and well-being of others. In just three weeks, the fall semester will begin, and I know we're all excited to get back to the special traditions that are part of the Alabama experience. As you plan for the fall, please remember that public health rules still require those who have not been vaccinated to be subject to testing and isolation protocols. We are planning for a great semester at the Capstone, and I don't want anyone to miss out on this fall. Students, you can schedule your free vaccination at the UA Student Health Center or through any number of local providers. And you can receive your second dose here, even if your first dose was provided at an off-campus facility elsewhere. If you or an eligible family member are in need of a vaccine, please contact the University Medical Center to schedule an appointment. We need your support to do everything possible to protect our community and keep us all tied together. Thank you and Roll Tide.
