911±¬ÁÏ

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam last week lifted the mask requirement for people who have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. As a public university, 911±¬ÁÏ is complying with the Governor’s order, eliminating face covering and distancing requirements for all fully vaccinated people, effective today, June 2. 

A repeated donor has gifted an additional $2 million to Emergent Ventures India to help in the country's fight against COVID-19.

The sudden reversal of CDC mask recommendations has prompted many questions about what this means for 911±¬ÁÏ. As we review changing protocols, we will continue to require masks when on campus, and will provide an update with definitive guidance when we have it.

As we consider these factors and review the changing protocols, we will continue to require masks when on campus, just as we have done this past year. 

911±¬ÁÏ is offering two COVID-19 vaccination clinics this week for students on Wednesday, April 21 and Friday, April 23.

We are at an important moment in our fight against COVID, and I want to applaud everyone for their help in making 911±¬ÁÏ the safest campus it can be. Mason has received the go-ahead to begin vaccinating faculty and staff this weekend, and students later this month.
