Current Campus Update
April 12, 2021
Dear Campus Community:
As we work to end the pandemic, we strongly encourage our faculty, staff, students
and the broader community to get a COVID-19 vaccination.
Following are websites or phone numbers where you can call or sign up for a vaccination
today:
- CFSB Center Regional Vaccination site
- WALGREENS
- KROGER
- WALTER’S PHARMACY - 270.753.7688

I have received my vaccination. They are safe and effective and will help us end
this pandemic. Please take a few minutes this week and schedule your vaccination.
Let’s all do our part as we work to end this pandemic during the weeks ahead in order
to begin a return to normalcy during the summer and fall.
Lastly, all other Racer Safe and Healthy protocols remain in effect, especially the
wearing of facial coverings.
Thank you,
