Re-entry Message from UAB President Ray L. Watts
UAB community,
We look forward to uniting on campus again. UAB is transitioning from the university’s Limited Business Model into Modified Business Operations. UAB’s policies and protocols for responding to the COVID-19 pandemic are based on the core values and mission pillars of our strategic plan, Forging the Future. During Modified Business Operations, UAB will begin a gradual, phased approach with some groups/functions returning to campus before others. We will begin implementing guidelines for the Yellow/Modified Business Operations level as some research and clinical activities resume in phases beginning on May 26.
This website provides details on how we will come back to campus safely, as we strive to preserve the health of our university community and Birmingham. It is important to gradually bring individuals back on campus to promote social distancing. This phased approach will also allow us to evaluate strategies for effectiveness and minimize risk.
Guidance and requirements are subject to change and will be updated prior to future phases of re-entry, including a return to in-person instruction. Individuals who have responsibilities described within each of the phases and are anticipated to return to campus, along with their supervisors, will be contacted with specific guidance as soon as possible. For the latest updates and information continue to check this website.
Sincerely,
Ray L. Watts, M.D.
President, UAB
The following describes the university’s re-entry plan. The Health System is on a separate plan to transition from the Limited Business Model and began resuming clinical operations in early May. During Modified Business Operations, UAB will begin a gradual, phased approach with some groups/functions returning to campus before others. Clinical and research personnel will be the first to return to campus following the approval of units’ operational plans. The safety of our employees is of paramount concern. We are actively developing additional capabilities to enhance our ability to track symptoms and trace proximities and contact.
