Accurate Information

Dissemination of correct and accurate information is crucial to slowing the spread of the virus and to making sure that we are each able to do our part to protect the most vulnerable members of our community.

Please consult the Center for Disease Control’s official website for the most up to date information about the spread of the Coronavirus and for recommended safety guidelines:

Global Citizenship

In times of global crisis, it is important to remain committed to our global community as well as continuing to remember our role as global citizens. Through educational and cultural exchange programming, the CIUS Center has worked to foster a global lens of understanding that supports constructive dialogue, cross-cultural understanding, and invaluable learning opportunities. One of the main goals of our programs is to raise our student’s global consciousness. Viruses know no borders. During this time of ‘social distancing’ we encourage you to uphold the values of global citizenship that will help our global community move forward together.

You Can Help

While ‘Social distancing’ is one of the most effective ways that individuals can reduce the spread of the Coronavirus and ensure the efficiency of our healthcare system, the CIUS Center is committed to sharing information and updates on other ways that we can safely work to combat the impact of this pandemic.
