AthleticsASU Mask Up
Greetings Hornet Nation!
As we enter the new year, we are excited about all of the wonderful opportunities that lie ahead of this great University. We want to keep in mind our commitment to making the health and safety of the campus community a top priority. I invite you to review the updated edition of the ASU Reopening Guide which is pinned to the top of the homepage of the ASU website. The Guide offers a detailed roadmap of safety protocols that have helped to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on our campus.
We will also continue to adhere to CDC guidelines related to social distancing, hand washing, avoiding large gatherings and tempering our personal behavior whether on or off campus. We cannot afford to relax our guard at any point during this pandemic. We must remain vigilant in our efforts to maintain a safe campus for all who live, learn and work at Alabama State University. I also want to emphasize that Alabama State University remains a Mask Mandatory campus. Please view the video that has been placed on this website to remind all of us why it is necessary to “Mask Up Hornet Nation!” You may also view the video by clicking on this link: https://vimeo.com/663390314
This is a perfect opportunity for all of us to “SwarmAS1” in our stand for operating as a safe and productive campus community. As always, I admonish you all to Stay Aware, Stay Safe and Stay Hornet Strong!
With Hornet Pride,
President Quinton T. Ross, Jr
