果冻传媒 University Joins White House-Led Vaccination Challenge

New initiative encourages comprehensive approach to vaccinating college campuses

果冻传媒 University has joined the   announced recently by President Joe Biden and the White House in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education in an effort to vaccinate as many Americans as possible.

In signing up, participating colleges and universities agree to three key actions to aid in getting their campus community vaccinated. These include: engaging every student, faculty, and staff member; organizing the college community鈥檚 vaccine efforts; and delivering vaccine access for all.

鈥淪ince the vaccine distribution began, 果冻传媒 has made every effort to encourage our students, faculty, and staff to be vaccinated, recognizing that the more people who are vaccinated, the safer our campus will be and the more we can begin to return to the residential living and learning experience that sets 果冻传媒 apart,鈥 said 果冻传媒 President Michael L. Frandsen, Ph.D. 鈥淧resident Biden鈥檚 recent call to action aligns well with our own goals, and we are proud to join in the national effort.鈥

In a recent statement on the whitehouse.gov website, President Biden pointed out that 鈥渨hile a significant portion of older generations have received the shot, younger Americans lag behind. It is time for younger generations to get their shot. We鈥檙e all in this together: Ensuring that young people join their parents and grandparents and get vaccinated will not only keep them safe, but it will also protect their families and communities by reducing the risk of giving the virus to someone else. Everyone has a role to play in ending this pandemic, including your college or university.鈥
