Acacia Hernandez | July 21, 2021 9:12 pm What will the fall semester look like on college campuses? The University of Illinois recently announced that all faculty and staff are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the beginning of the new school year. Thanks to our sponsors: “We’ve been intensively preparing for this all along, all the way back to the beginning,” said University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen. “We do feel now that vaccination is key to getting out of the pandemic as a whole community and to make our campus as safe as possible. We’re going beyond encouraging ... getting that extra percent is going to be very important, particularly with the variants emerging.”
