Let's Get Vaccinated and Reclaim Embry-Riddle's True Culture

Takeoff at sunrise

Students, Faculty and Staff:

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students love to soar, to reach for the stars and dream of travel to Mars. We have sorely missed that bold, freedom-loving approach to life on our campuses.

The good news is that, as of April 22, nearly 1,500 of you had already been vaccinated against Covid-19, bringing us ever closer to a more relaxed and open environment on our campuses. To all who have been vaccinated – thank you! To the rest of you – please make a vaccine appointment now so that we can all begin enjoying campus life to the fullest once again.

Like you, we are eager to relax some of Embry-Riddle’s strict safety protocols so that we can safely reclaim Embry-Riddle’s true culture, which is rooted in the exhilarating freedom of flight. Please help us return to our university’s authentic self – the one that craves discovery, adventure and innovation.

We need your help. We want to be able to safely interact with you more authentically again, the way it should be at an institution of higher learning. We can’t achieve that goal until a majority of students and employees have been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Embry-Riddle will be launching a vaccination campaign in the coming weeks. In sharing information, please be assured that we will always strive to ensure accuracy, based on credible sources and the most current scientific insights. We will also acknowledge, respect and listen to the concerns of all individuals within our community.

We have all been vaccinated. We ask that you consider doing the same. Once you have been fully vaccinated, be sure to apply for your Embry-Riddle All Clear badge. Thank you and please continue to stay safe.
