As we start the new year I would like to tell you a personal story.  I contracted Covid soon after the new year.  Fortunately I and the rest of my family, had very mild cases and I attribute this to all being vaccinated.  I encourage everyone to get vaccinated and boostered as it has shown to minimize the severity of virus. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication that our associates have shown throughout this crisis and know it will continue.  Remember we are an important part of making the Spring semester a success for TAMU!  God Bless and work safe.
