Let’s Vax Up, CMSV!
7/9/2021
Get Vaccinated. Upload Documentation. Win Prizes.
SECOND DRAWING: AUGUST 15 | SUBMIT PROOF BY: AUGUST 12
It’s been over a year since this pandemic changed our lives—but now it’s time to get back to doing more of what we love, while enjoying the many things that make the University of Mount Saint Vincent the right place on the river.
Because of our community’s commitment to health and safety, we are able to return to another successful, fully in-person semester this fall—and what’s more exciting is that we’ll be able to remove masks and physical distancing requirements for vaccinated members of our community.
The best weapons we have against COVID-19 are vaccines. It is clear that widespread vaccination builds widespread immunity, and the full experience we strive to continue to offer in the fall will only be assured with the vaccination of our College community.
Over the next few months, we’ll share videos, social media messages, and more to help our ‘Phin Fam learn more about the vaccine and why we’re committed to getting one.
Protecting yourself, your loved ones, and the Mount community against COVID-19 has been the greatest prize of all, but we still want to throw in a little something extra to reward those who have gotten their shot—and to encourage the rest of the Mount community to participate.
Ready to win? We have a variety of prizes* for both students and employees—from free tuition and President Burns’ parking space to $500 loaded to My Dollars and free coffee for a year—there’s something for everyone to get excited about! It’s easy to enter our (four!) upcoming drawings. First? You need to get vaccinated. Already done that? Great! Then all you need to do is take a picture of your vaccine card and upload to Self-Service. Have an exemption? No problem! Check out our COVID-19 Resources to learn more about next steps. And if you’re a first-year student, you’ll need to complete our Immunization Form.
What are you waiting for? It’s time to #VaxUpCMSV! Let’s get back to (and keep doing!) so many of the things we love, like:
Grabbing a bite together in Hudson Heights
Studying and hanging with friends in dorms and lounges across campus
Getting back on the field and court
Cheering on our favorite Dolphin teams together
Chatting (without social distancing!) with classmates and professors
Heading back to on-site internships across NYC
Enjoying on-campus club gatherings, in-person events, concerts, and more!
What are you looking forward to the most? Share with us using #VaxUpCMSV on social media and don’t forget to tag us at @mountstvincent when you get vaccinated!
Join us in our pledge to keep each other safe by committing to action, getting the vaccine, and encouraging others to do the same—we can do this, Mount Saint Vincent!
