COVID-19 Health & Safety

On behalf of Residential & Dining Enterprises (R&DE), Senior Associate Vice Provost Shirley Everett invites students to join us in ensuring the safety and well-being of students, faculty, staff and the entire community. This is our highest priority! Since the onset of the pandemic, we have developed and implemented comprehensive programs to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 while continuing to provide a positive housing and dining experience for students. It is extremely important that students follow the guidelines and abide by all posted health and safety notices in dining halls and residences.
