COVID-19 Protocols for Homecoming
Thursday, September 30, 2021
|
Norfolk State University is committed to a Culture of Care for all who come to our campus. All external visitors registering for and attending events at Norfolk State University are expected to abide by University COVID-19 guidelines, which are based on CDC guidance, and are subject to change as conditions warrant. Masking is required indoors, regardless of vaccination status, except when actively eating or drinking. Outdoors, masking is highly encouraged per CDC recommendations.
For the health, safety and enjoyment of all during our Homecoming activities, including tailgating and the game, we are requiring proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of event attendance. We create these shared expectations of event participants in keeping with our core values of belonging within this community, our respect for one another as individuals and in recognition of the risks inherent to gathering amid a pandemic.
With your cooperation and participation, we look forward to one of the best-ever Homecomings at Norfolk State University!
