Walsh University continues to implement its ‘Seven to Remember’ to ensure the health and wellness of the campus community:
- Get vaccinated. While the university does not require the students, faculty, and staff to get vaccinated for COVID-19, it is encouraging the ‘Cav Nation’ to get jabs for a safe and active campus environment. Walsh University is also coordinating closely with the local health department to schedule a vaccination clinic this fall. Walsh also calls on the attention of those who have been fully vaccinated to inform them via the short and voluntary online form, which will enable them to plan for the year ahead.
- Mask and distance. At Walsh, individuals may wear masks at any time at their discretion, while those who were vaccinated are not required to wear masks or follow social distancing on campus. However, non-vaccinated ones must adhere to safety protocols when around others.
- Wash hands frequently. Walsh enjoins its community to do regular hand washing to prevent the spread of germs at home, at work, while traveling, or when out in the community.
- Clean and sanitize. Walsh University’s facilities staff continues to work with department heads/managers to maintain cleanliness and execute sanitation procedures on campus.
- Monitor health every day. Walsh University also continues to monitor the members of its community; in essence, individuals who experience symptoms will be asked to return home, self-isolate, and seek medical guidance immediately.
- Reporting and Response Protocols. Walsh University established its COVID-19 Community Health Response Team in coordination with the Human Resources to manage COVID-19 related cases and cater to the response protocols and quarantine guidelines.
- WU Matters. We Are All in This Together. The university officials call upon the Cav Nation to participate in Walsh’s initiatives to reduce the risks and spread of COVID-19 in their community.
While vaccinations are not mandatory on campus, they may be required for specific clinical majors such as Education, Nursing, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Therapy because of teaching or clinical site regulations.
