Letting us know you’ve been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 is voluntary but incredibly helpful in evaluating Western’s “community immunity” and planning for increased onsite operations.
You can let us know by completing the Vaccination Submission form.

Dear Western Community,

Initially contact tracing efforts identified off-campus parties and other large social gatherings as the cause for this increase. However, in the past week WCHD has confirmed nearly 30 positive COVID cases involving students living in Fairhaven and Nash residence areas.
Refer to the RSP website for additional information, guidelines, and application forms.
Proposals due to faculty advisors: Wednesday, April 14
