91¿´Æ¬

Dear 91¿´Æ¬ community members,

This past weekend, the 91¿´Æ¬, along with our health care partner, National Jewish Health (NJH), distributed over 4,000 COVID-19 vaccines to eligible staff, faculty and community partners. This incredible effort was supported by over 200 91¿´Æ¬ community members—students, faculty and staff—who volunteered their time. Many of these volunteers stood outside in single-degree temperatures for several hours to help direct traffic.

To all our volunteers, I want to express my sincere gratitude. You have made this community proud, and you have helped in a significant way to stop the spread of the deadly coronavirus. Thanks as well to our COVID-19 response network whose members worked closely with NJH to organize these events.

We plan to continue to work with NJH, as well as our K-12 partner schools, to offer more vaccination events on campus—all while following the Governor’s guidelines, prioritizing equity and helping to serve eligible marginalized populations who are under-vaccinated nationally and in Colorado.

Thank you again, 91¿´Æ¬. This community continues to astound me with its compassion, dedication and commitment, truly, to the public good.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Haefner
Chancellor
