We’re all turning 21 this year Opinions generic
Greetings, students, and welcome to the start of the Spring semester.
I am incredibly excited to begin 2021 with you, the year when I believe the nation and world will finally overcome COVID-19.
To be sure, the pandemic today remains a real and present threat. Health and safety are our top priorities at UF, and I ask you to join me in starting the semester with a commitment to wearing a mask, watching our distance from others and washing our hands frequently. With the new and more contagious strain of the COVID-19 virus present in Florida, we must be even more committed than last semester to following the UF Health guidelines.
