Florida A&M University wants to "Protect the FAMULY" and have a safe fall semester. Remember, "we can't be FAM without U getting vaccinated."
"We continue monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergent Omicron variant as we open for the spring semester on January 3rd and with in-person classes starting on January 5th. We expect and encourage you to adhere to the safety practices of wearing masks, getting vaccinated and tested regularly, which can be done on our campus at our FAMU COVID-19 Testing and Vaccination site."
"The best way to lessen the impact of COVID-19 on our campuses and our communities is to protect yourself, your family, and your friends every day by following the recommended precautions, including wearing masks, testing when necessary, and getting fully vaccinated, including a booster, if you are able to do so. "
