In a campus update on September 30, 2021, Vice Chancellor for Student Life Frank Cuevas spoke for Chancellor Plamman. He gave key messages to the university community. The update came just before Fall Break. It aimed to address health issues and remind everyone about flu and COVID-19 shots.
Emphasis on Health and Safety
As fall began, Cuevas stressed flu shots. He linked the flu vaccine closely with personal and community health. The student health center pharmacy takes walk-ins Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The university also set up plans for flu shot clinics at many campus spots. These clinics bring the vaccine service close to everyone.
COVID-19 Updates
Cuevas shared that there are 47 active COVID-19 cases. He noted 39 cases in students and 8 in staff. Although these numbers are low, they show the Delta variant’s clear risk. Local health care feels the strain from this variant. Cuevas urged caution and safe habits, especially for those not yet vaccinated. He said the Food and Drug Administration now gives full approval to vaccines like Pfizer. This news pushes people to book an appointment at the student health center.
Continued Community Commitment
Cuevas thanked the community for following safety rules. He kept his words simple: wear masks indoors except when eating or exercising. If anyone feels sick or has been exposed to COVID-19, they should get help from the university’s COVID-19 support team. The support team is ready to guide you.

Conclusion and Well Wishes
At the close of the update, Cuevas thanked everyone for protecting the campus. He wished all a calm and healing Fall Break. His words urged us to support one another during this time. The leadership will meet again in two weeks, hoping for better campus health.
By keeping health and safety a top goal and working together, the university meets the challenges of the pandemic.
