Grand Valley’s Spring/Summer semester is underway as are plans to offer a robust Fall 2021 semester.
The best avenue toward a new “normal” campus environment, with more in-person classes and experiences, is getting as many campus community members vaccinated as possible.
To reach that point, help from the entire Laker community is needed.
• All Lakers are strongly encouraged to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment as soon as possible. See links to available resources at bottom.
• Several additional questions have been added to the daily self-assessment about your plans to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
Even if you are not on campus for the Spring/Summer semester, all students, faculty and staff members need to complete the assessment with their vaccination plan before May 20. This will take only one minute to complete. If you have already reported a vaccination, no further action is required.
Did you know ...
• People who are fully vaccinated can skip quarantine and continue normal activities following an exposure as long as they do not develop symptoms.
• When more people are vaccinated, we can revisit face covering and social distancing policies.
To date, nearly 6,800 students, faculty and staff members have reported at least one vaccination dose, and about 5,800 of those people are completely vaccinated. More than two-thirds of faculty and staff members are completely vaccinated.
These numbers are continually updated in the Data Dashboard on the Lakers Together website.

Widespread vaccination will allow us to adjust our response to COVID-19. Remember to report your vaccination in your online self-assessment.
Creating a safer environment is a shared responsibility among all who come to GVSU and its off-campus partners. The university is encouraging personal responsibility by providing education, supplies, and resources to assist individuals in following public health guidance and university policy. As part of our work toward a safe environment, a web-based self-assessment (accessed by phone, tablet or computer) is available for faculty, staff and students.
The daily self-assessment is simple and quick to complete. The self-assessment is the primary means for us to collect daily information – including weekends – about how the virus is affecting the GVSU community, minimize its spread, promote public health and make sound decisions.
