This week’s town hall to focus on supporting a safer and healthier educational experience
In this week’s town hall, learn more about the results of a survey conducted by the UF Reopening Behavioral Workgroup and how we can all work together to support a safer and healthier educational experience when students return this fall. Panelists will include Vice President for Student Affairs D’Andra Mull; UF Health Screen, Test & Protect Director Michael Lauzardo and Epidemiologist Jerne Shapiro; Associate Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs Chris Hass; and Dean of Students Heather White.
You can ask questions in advance by completing this form.
Tune in live this Thursday, Aug. 6, at 1 p.m. The session will also be recorded.
Looking for sanitizing and protective equipment for your department?
While your department has likely already received a supply of masks, sanitizer and other items to support a safer return to the workplace, anyone still in need of supplies should work with their area’s designated supplies contact or HR liaison to make a request. Because supplies are limited, specific quantities have been allocated for each area.
If you would like to purchase additional supplies to supplement those that have been distributed, you can order them through myUFMarketplace. A list of supplies departments may wish to order, along with the Marketplace suppliers who carry the items, is available on the UF Procurement website. If you need help finding and purchasing additional products outside of the Marketplace, please email Procurement@ufl.edu with the kinds of items needed, providing as much detail as possible.
While hand sanitizer remains important for high traffic and public areas, please remember and help spread the word that washing your hands for 20 seconds serves the same purpose. You can find signage like the image below to download, print and post on the UF Health Screen, Test & Protect website.
