亲爱的火星教徒社区:
随着春季学期的成功开学, 在仔细审查了bet亚洲365欢迎投注的COVID政策和协议之后, we are writing to announce an update of these protocols in preparation for the upcoming Summer 2023 term and Academic Year 2023-24. 我们现在想分享这些信息,以便及时提供, 向圣母社区成员提供透明的信息, 尤其是那些即将入学或返回玛丽斯特的学生.
5月22日开始, 2023, bet亚洲365欢迎投注将 move to a policy of 强烈推荐ing the 新型冠状病毒肺炎 vaccination series and booster for all students, 教师, 和工作人员. This decision comes after consultation with the College’s Medical Advisory Group (MAG) and review of the latest public health data and 新型冠状病毒肺炎 guidelines. Proof of vaccination and booster will no longer be required as a condition of employment or enrollment at Marist; however, 具体项目和经历, 包括某些海外留学项目, 是否需要接种疫苗才能参加.
虽然新型冠状病毒肺炎病毒并没有消失, public health conditions have improved to a point where COVID is effectively being self-managed similar to other illnesses. bet亚洲365欢迎投注的最新政策与 联邦政府最近的声明 将于2023年5月11日结束冠状病毒突发公共卫生事件. 我们认为这是对学院健康协议的适当更新, 可管理的 社区中的COVID, 家庭测试工具的广泛使用, 以及我们的校园社区对考试的熟悉程度, 隔离和"生病待在家里"协议.
We’d like to take a moment and express our gratitude to the Marist 教师 和工作人员 who participated on the Medical Advisory Committee (MAG) for the last three years. 主席:博士. 科学学院院长Alicia Slater, MAG成员包括. 克劳迪娅Zegans, 导演 of Student 卫生服务; Dr. Steve Katz, Medical 导演, bet亚洲365欢迎投注医师助理计划; and Dr. 艾琳·麦克劳克林, 助理医务主任, bet亚洲365欢迎投注医师助理计划, 职业医学主任 & 员工健康,高级健康系统. 他们的领导, 关注科学数据, and continuous review of public health guidelines helped Marist successfully navigate the pandemic and preserve the signature on-ground experience that attracts students to our institution. 学院将 继续 to monitor public health guidelines and reserves the right to update its guidelines should conditions warrant; we also can tap into the expertise of our MAG once again if needed.
Removing our COVID vaccination mandate does not alleviate the personal responsibility each of us has to remain diligent about testing ourselves for COVID when we do not feel well, 生病在家, 并遵循学院的规则 隔离协议 当检测呈阳性时. 这些重要的步骤将继续促进我们校园社区的健康和安全.
我们感谢社区中所有人的支持和遵守我们的COVID协议. Your action and care for each other over the last three years is a reflection of what makes our Marist community special and unique.
