In a message to students, parents, faculty, and staff, President Sarah Mangelsdorf calls for a commitment to the health and safety of our community.
“All of us at the University—students, faculty, and staff—need to verify our commitment to act in accordance with University public health guidelines and directives from our state and local officials. We know that following guidelines for wearing masks and keeping our physical distance will not be easy, but for us to continue to fulfill our mission of teaching, research, and patient care, we need the entire community to do their part. I firmly believe safety is a shared responsibility and the guidelines we put forward are the best way to keep the entire University community, and our Rochester neighbors, safe.”
