We appreciate all our campus community has done to fight the spread of COVID-19 and
I greatly appreciate the efforts of the EGSC COVID-19 Response Team and co-chairs
Linda Upchurch and Mary Smith. We continue to encourage all students, faculty, and
staff to wear face coverings when indoors, to perform frequent hand washing/sanitizing,
and to keep personal spaces and items clean. I also agree strongly with the USG policy
encouraging all faculty, staff, students, and visitors to be vaccinated and boosted
for COVID-19.
Best,
David
