<p class="MsoNormal">Members of the Campbell DPT Class of 2024<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of the faculty & staff, I want to extend a warm welcome to you all. This week marks an important milestone in your professional journey towards becoming a PT. We are looking forward to helping you along this path and want you
to know that we will be there every step of the way. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you are aware we have Orientation this Friday. I wanted to take a moment to update you on the Covid-19 mitigation efforts that are in place to maintain the safety of our campus community. Our campus has a taskforce that tracks the impact
of the virus and regularly updates guidance based upon data and current evidence. The most recent guidance and information is available at <a href="https://www.campbell.edu/coronavirus/">https://www.campbell.edu/coronavirus/</a>. I wanted to call attention
to a couple of key items before you arrive to campus. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Covid Vaccination/Testing<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Starting January 4, 2022, the University has instituted mandatory vaccination for Covid-19 for all students that have experiential training – this includes DPT. We have a March 7 deadline
for all DPT students to be in full compliance. If you wish to pursue a medical or religious exemption you should begin that process ASAP.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">All students must self-report their vaccination status (Click “University Self-report form” at the link above). Please complete this ASAP.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">For students who are not fully vaccinated, you must submit proof of a negative Covid-19 test within 48 hours of January 7 (Click “report their Negative Covid status” at the link above).
<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Positive Testing/Quarantine <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">The University has contact tracing and protocols that vary based upon the circumstances.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">In the event of a positive test or exposure to a known positive individual you should contact me to guide you through the process.
<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Covid Mitigation <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Mask use is required on campus. Please make sure you arrive on Friday with a well-fitting mask.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">If you have symptoms of Covid-19 you are asked to stay home and follow University guidance.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">If you are instructed to quarantine, we will work to keep you engaged in courses or provide opportunities to get caught up after symptoms subside.
<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the last 2 years our program has been successful in keeping Covid-19 from spreading within the program. This sometimes requires changes in our strategy. At present, we are planning for a regular start (orientation and classes on January
10). However, with the recent uptick in cases, we may need to change our approach in the coming days. I will communicate if any changes are made.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to seeing you on Friday. <o:p></o:p></p>
