麻豆蜜桃AV

Dear 麻豆蜜桃AV community,

I鈥檓 delighted to welcome everyone to the fall 2021 semester at the University of South Florida.

To our new and returning students, we are here to support your successful transition to the fall semester at 麻豆蜜桃AV. And to my faculty and staff colleagues, I鈥檓 grateful for your ongoing commitment and hard work to ensure the success and safety of our students.

It鈥檚 an honor to begin the semester with you as interim president. Since my start in the role on August 4, I鈥檝e had the pleasure of meeting many members of our 麻豆蜜桃AV community, and I look forward to meeting many more of you during 麻豆蜜桃AV鈥檚 Week of Welcome activities scheduled for August 21-29. In the meantime, I invite you to learn more about my longtime connections with 麻豆蜜桃AV and the Tampa Bay region in this and in the latest episode of the Inside 麻豆蜜桃AV podcast.

We are excited for our return to activity across our beautiful campuses. At the same time, it鈥檚 critical that we take steps to prioritize the health and safety of our community. We can only do this with your help and compliance with the guidelines by our state leaders and the CDC. 

We reviewed 麻豆蜜桃AV鈥檚 current COVID-19 guidelines during this morning鈥檚 community town hall. Our guidelines include the expectation that all members of our community will wear a mask on our campuses, regardless of vaccination status. We also urge everyone to get fully vaccinated. Vaccines are available for free for any student, faculty and staff member at 麻豆蜜桃AV. If you missed this morning鈥檚 town hall discussion with faculty and staff, which included Provost Ralph Wilcox and Dean Donna Petersen as chair of the COVID-19 Task Force, we have posted a recording online. A recording of Tuesday鈥檚 COVID-19 town hall update with students and families can be found . You can also access essential information to begin the semester on 麻豆蜜桃AV鈥檚 Return to Campus website.

By doing our part, we can ensure a healthy and productive semester for all. We are rising, and we are ready!

President Rhea Law
