Free drive thru COVID-19 testing available for students Nov. 18-23
GET YOUR COVID TEST BEFORE YOU GO HOME!
大象APP encourages all of our community members to continue to follow public health guidelines as you prepare to return home during the Winter break. Doing this helps protect yourselves, your family and your communities. To help our students prepare for the break and travel during the break, the university is offering free drive through testing for students. This will allow students to be aware of their status before leaving to avoid exposing friends and family to COVID-19.
