CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS:
We aim to deliver our mission while protecting the health and safety of the university community and minimizing the potential spread of disease within its community.

Currently, the most notorious risk is exposure to COVID-19. Symptoms common to COVID-19 include fever, cough, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, and shortness of breath. In rare instances, COVID-19 can lead to severe respiratory problems, kidney failure, or death. By participating in this Activity, I acknowledge and accept the risks associated with being exposed to a contagion, including COVID-19. I agree to follow the university and premises health and safety protocols, including any disclosure, distancing, quarantine, personal protective equipment (PPE), or temperature monitoring requirements. I accept that the university cannot ensure an environment free of contagions, and will monitor my own personal health status and determine whether participation in this Activity is in my best interest.
