From UVA Leadership
- Last Friday, President Ryan and other leaders conducted a town hall with students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Our goal was to convey the reasons for our major decisions and to answer questions about them because we know they have enormous consequences for those who live, learn, and work at UVA, as well as for our Charlottesville neighbors.
- On Monday, President Ryan hosted a similar town hall with members of the Charlottesville/Albemarle community so that they could also hear from University leaders about the steps we are taking to protect public health and to be good neighbors.
- Tomorrow, President Ryan and the leadership team will hold one more town hall for parents and families of students to answer questions as their children prepare to return to Grounds.
- Finally, if you haven’t already, take a moment to watch the video President Ryan released over the weekend outlining the decisions we’ve made so far and our hopes for the fall semester.
Hoos Health
Beginning Monday, Aug. 10, HOOS Health Check will help members of the UVA community remain aware of their health and any possible COVID-symptoms before they come to Grounds. This new tool will replace daily health attestations that UVA Health team members, researchers, and other groups on Grounds have used this summer. Students, faculty, staff, and UVA Health team members will complete a daily health check each day that they are coming to Grounds through the free HOOS Health Check app (available Aug. 10 in the Apple and Google Play stores) or the HOOS Health Check website. More details are available in FAQs on the Return to Grounds and Students on Grounds websites.
