Gratitude, #KeeptheCompact Accountability, New Student Voices, ReopenCU app Reminder

September 18, 2020

Dear Students,

As the weekend approaches, I want to share my gratitude for everything you are doing to Keep Our Community Healthy. Your individual actions are making a difference. If you’re unsure about your responsibilities and accountability, take a moment to review the Compact, the Student Accountability Plan and these tips for socializing safely.

I’m delighted to share these new student voices on why it’s so important to #KeeptheCompact as part of the Columbia community. This week's new feature – check out this student vlog and this moving blog post.

For more information about COVID-19 testing and resources on campus, watch Coffee Convos @ Columbia to see my interview with Columbia Health's Dr. Melanie Bernitz, and look out for more installments of Coffee Convos @ Columbia soon.   

Let us know what “stepping in” tips are working for you to help remind someone to wear their face covering properly and keep physical distance. We want to share your ideas with the rest of the University.

Remember, if you have a concern, speak with a staff or faculty member. You can also use the “report an incident” link at the top of University Life’s website.

As a reminder, every Columbia community member must complete the daily ReopenCU attestation to gain access to campus buildings, including signing the Columbia Community Health Compact and completing gateway testing and training
