`Before You Get Out of Your Car, Put on Your Mask’

As students prepare to return to Embry-Riddle’s residential campuses in Prescott, Arizona, and Daytona Beach, Florida for face-to-face fall 2020 classes, university leadership reaffirmed its rules for wearing face coverings at all times.

Face coverings are mandatory in all common areas on Embry-Riddle’s campuses, both indoors and outdoors, in classrooms, laboratories, residence halls and other facilities. In addition, EagleCards must be visible at all times, either on a lanyard or clipped to an article of clothing, and daily wellness checks are mandatory.

Wearing face coverings, in keeping with U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention guidelines, reflects Embry-Riddle’s strong safety culture and Eagle commitment to caring for others. Embry-Riddle’sfall 2020 Path Forward plan emphasizes the importance of taking personal responsibility.

“We’re working hard to provide a safe environment, but it’s up to all of us to make it work,” Embry-Riddle President P. Barry Butler said at a recent virtual town hall event organized by Student Government Association leaders. “When we look back on this time as history, how you as individuals reacted will say a lot about you as a person. It will go with you throughout life and in your careers – how you behaved, how flexible you were in adapting to a new situation and the choices you made.”
