Miami Regionals Healthy Together Pledge

Understanding the Risks

I know that by engaging in campus activities, attending classes, living and/or eating on campus, attending activities, and participating in sports and recreation or other student organization activities, I may be exposed to COVID-19 and other infections. I also understand that despite Miami University’s efforts to reduce the risks of COVID-19, I can still contract COVID-19 and/or other infections that can cause serious illness and even death. I will make efforts to stay informed of University COVID-19 related communications, as the University may modify guidelines and expectations as new information becomes available.

As a Miami student and community member, we ask you to take care of yourself and your community and pledge your compliance to these expectations.
