Facilities Employees and COVID-19
The Facilities Division has developed safety protocols to create a safe and positive work environment for employees working on campus. These safety measures were developed based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, OSHA and the state of North Carolina.
COVID-19 Vaccination: Here’s step-by-step process for registering to receive a COVID-19 vaccination on campus.
