Vaccines, Videos, and Voyaging…. Oh My!

 

Vaccines at NSU Davie Campus

Thanks to a partnership with the Department of Health in Broward County and our amazing volunteers, NSU has had exceptional success completing vaccinations with the Johnson & Johnson single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.   Starting Monday, April 5th, vaccines at the NSU vaccination location at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus will be open to all NSU students and employees age 18 and up. Vaccinations are by appointment only, so visit https://nsuclinics.nova.edu/cv19vaccine/ to make yours today.  Let’s applaud the faculty, staff, and students from NSU’s College of Pharmacy, Office of Innovation and Information Technology (OIIT), the Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing, the NSU senior leadership team, and many others who worked so hard to make this happen.  NOTE: Continued vigilance is a must as Florida is experiencing very high positivity rates.  We are not discontinuing our COVID-19 practices at NSU sites.  Masks remain mandatory along with distancing requirements, regardless of vaccination status.

Videos for Vigilance

The Undergraduate Student Government Association (USGA) has produced this excellent video to increase awareness during COVID-19.  We applaud their efforts to help maintain vigilance as we strive to end the pandemic. Enjoy this short video!

Additionally, our talented and creative undergraduate students have been participating in the #TurnTheTide video awareness competition sponsored by Environmental Health and Safety and Campus Life and Student Engagement.  Visit the Diversity Student Council Instagram page to see the work of our students and vote for the winner! Be sure to follow the page, and the video with the most likes will win a prize. Please continue to be a Smart Shark and help us #TurnTheTide.

Voyaging
