We Hokies have been asked, in the spirit of Ut Prosim (Latin: so that I may serve), to protect our community from COVID-19. As cases rise, we ask Virginia Tech administration to serve us in turn: make fall 2020 virtual. @virginia_tech #UtProsim #VirginiaTech #VirtualVT #Covid_19

Be committed to fighting pandemic fatigue.

Continue to wear a mask, maintain distance, and take care of yourself. 🧠 #BeWellHokies

For fall break ⬇️

👍 DO: go outside and admire our fall beauty, enjoy not having classes, participate in #VTHomecoming virtual events, and get a flu shot

👎 DON'T: travel, have out-of-town visitors, or stop fighting the spread of #COVID19

From March - Aug, there was a 20% increase in excess deaths over what was expected, according to @JAMA_current.

Statistician Ron Fricker says this makes clear the U.S. has lagged behind most of the rest of the world in effectively combating the pandemic. https://t.co/C5Lxx2wZhp

During COVID-19, many students are struggling.

Our Student Emergency Fund can be a true game changer.

Chip in $15 or more and we’ll send you a piece of genuine Hokie Stone to thank you for laying the foundation for a brighter Hokie future. ✨ ➡️ https://t.co/yPXEn2xjMC

Head's up, #Blacksburg. There'll be a free, drive-thru flu shot clinic at Blacksburg High School on Wednesday.

As we approach fall break (Friday, Oct. 16), remember that travel is strongly discouraged. Please #BeCommittedBeWell by staying in @Blacksburg_Gov and do not travel until Thanksgiving break (Nov. 21).

[Virginia Tech Residential Experience @VTResidential]

Hey residents, we need to know your Thanksgiving & Winter Break plans! It's quick and easy to submit them in the StarRez Portal. If you stay off-campus following Thanksgiving break, you'll be credited 10% of the semester housing rate. Fill out the form today!

[Virginia Tech @virginia_tech]

To protect themselves, their families, and friends, all students are encouraged to participate in voluntary #COVID19 testing at Lane before leaving campus for Thanksgiving and the rest of fall semester on Nov. 20.

Schedule an appointment by Oct. 26!

Exit testing is vital to making sure our universities aren't spreading COVID-19 to other communities. Here's an article on Radford's current plan: https://t.co/Hq116UMpAF

We spoke with Alexander Nwogu back in May, when he graduated from Virginia Tech. He was killed this morning in D.C. https://t.co/H6UXDkPm1W

It's not just academic content. It's unequal access across the board, for "reasons" - access means clarity. Obfuscating what someone is sharing is censorship. Add content warnings instead of assuming an audience can't handle what is being shared.

[Virginia Tech @virginia_tech]

It is particularly important that we have #FluFreeHokies this year.

📣 Attend @SchiffertHealth's walk-in flu shot clinic today from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. in the @VTRecSports Field House. ➡️ https://t.co/5aOnyWq40M

There will be a walk-in #COVID19 testing clinic on Sunday at Lane (Gate 1) from 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Bring your Hokie P and fill out the two forms linked here to bring with you for a shorter wait time. ⬇️

Starting Monday, we will increase student testing with 2,000 open testing appointments each week. A portion of this will be dedicated to the new mandatory random prevalence testing for all undergrad students in @Blacksburg_Gov & pooled testing will begin.
