Dear FAS colleagues,

On the heels of President Jay Hartzell’s message to students and employees about changes to spring semester instruction and operations, I wanted to help frame how this impacts FAS. While the move to more in-person instruction starting Jan. 31 is an important one, we must continue to acknowledge and confront the challenges of the ongoing pandemic and how campus density may impact our employees and our work.

Dear FAS colleagues,

After many months of adhering to guidance from federal, state and local officials, as well as our own university health experts, our campus has seen a reduction in new cases of COVID-19. I applaud FAS staff for your contribution to reducing the spread of this disease by also following the additional guidance in the FAS COVID-19 Guide for Staff, which was developed largely with on-campus staff in mind.

The COVID-19 Guide for FAS Staff was updated in summer 2021 and re-launched on Aug. 19, 2021, in an email to FAS employees from Senior Vice President Darrell Bazzell. The Guide includes important requirements and guidance for driving university vehicles and for carpooling to and from work sites.

The university is celebrating students, faculty and staff who have chosen to get vaccinated, which is the best way to help #ProtectTexasTogether.
