Keep Adapting – Stay Safe by Celebrating Online

Air cargo professionals are rapidly adapting their operations to get Covid-19 vaccines and other medical supplies into the hands of healthcare workers as quickly and safely as possible.

Everyone at Embry-Riddle is adapting, too. Hats off to you for figuring out new ways to learn, teach and stay engaged during a global pandemic. We know it can be hard, not being able to gather in large groups, but your continued vigilance is greatly appreciated. Covid-19 variants are on the rise.

Leverage technology to keep your social life humming.

• If you’re a football fan, stream Super Bowl LV on Sunday. Join your friends from a safe distance via Zoom. Haul out your favorite snacks. Wear a team jersey.
• Not a football fan? Don’t forget the always adorable canine performers in Puppy Bowl XVII. Zoom with your fur babies back home. Make some puppy-shaped cookies.
• Whatever you do, remember that large gatherings such as Super Bowl parties are strictly prohibited at Embry-Riddle.
