COVID-19 Safety for Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving and cooler weather are here giving us opportunities to spend time with family and friends.  It is essential during the holiday season to protect others and us from spreading the COVID-19 virus.  Get vaccinated and boosted (if eligible), wear a mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing when possible.

Beginning the week of November 21, at-home test kits will be available in the lobby of each residence hall and, as always, at the following locations on campus:

• The Ticket Booth in the Student Center
• Campus Police at McKeldin Gym
• The Reference Desk and Room 1200 in the Thurgood Marshall Library
• Room 270 in the Thurgood Marshall Library

Please grab a test kit as you leave for the long holiday weekend in case you experience symptoms prior to returning to campus.

Upon return to campus, November 28 – December 2, COVID testing is highly encouraged and will be available in the COVID Testing Center at the Thurgood Marshall Library, Room 1200, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Every student, faculty, and staff member who gets tested during this time period at the Testing Center will receive $12 Flex Bucks credited to their Bulldog Card* that can be used for food at any food services location on campus.  Flex Bucks expire Thursday, December 22, 2022.

Stay Bulldog safe this Thanksgiving!
