Dear colleagues,
Congratulations – we have made significant progress in our workforce vaccination campaign. In the past seven days, an additional 9% of our employees have reported to the Alexander Health Center (AHC) that they are fully vaccinated. This brings our percentage of fully vaccinated employees up to 62% of The University of Tulsa workforce.
Previously, I announced that TU will exempt fully vaccinated employees from the university mask mandate and physical distancing policy once 75% of our workforce is fully vaccinated and that the university would grant non-faculty employees an additional floating holiday once 80% of our total workforce is fully vaccinated.
To encourage our community to reach these goals over the summer, I am pleased to announce that TU will hold a raffle for additional employee vaccine incentives if we meet our vaccination campaign goal by July 31. Here are the details:
If 75% of our workforce is fully vaccinated by July 31, then those employees who have been fully vaccinated (faculty and staff) will be eligible to win the following additional prizes:
- 10 prizes for a free parking pass for the 2021-22 academic year
- 5 prizes for free coffee at McFarlin Library for the fall semester
- 5 prizes for two season tickets to all 2021-22 TU Athletics home games
- 3 prizes for a Universal Parking Pass permitting the pass holder to park in any and all TU parking lots on campus for the 2021-22 academic year
To be counted, employees must verify their vaccination status by uploading a copy of their COVID-19 Vaccine Record Card to the AHC portal.* Employees can track the university’s progress to goal on TU’s COVID-19 Dashboard (updated weekly by end of business on Tuesdays).
Vaccines are available to employees at the AHC with no out-of-pocket expense. For your convenience, TU is holding the following J&J vaccine PODs at AHC this week (no appointment needed):
- June 1: 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-3:30 p.m.
- June 2: 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1-3:30 p.m.
- June 3: 1-4 p.m.
Please bring your insurance card with you to the vaccine POD. These PODs will offer the single-shot J&J vaccine. Appointments may be made for the Moderna vaccine by contacting AHC at 918-631-2241.
If you have any questions about TU’s COVID-19 policies, please email covid19@utulsa.edu. Thank you for keeping our community safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Matt Warren
Vice President for Risk Management and Chief Compliance Officer
