Dear Students,

Thanks to your cooperation and diligence, we completed the spring semester in person and with few restrictions. With the arrival of the MS1 students in the School of Medicine, each of our three schools now have their new students on campus for the fall semester.

We strongly recommend that you arrive on campus fully vaccinated to reduce the chances of your semester being interrupted by illness. LSU Health Shreveport offers free COVID-19 vaccines, boosters, and tests at our north campus located at 2726 Linwood Avenue Monday through Friday from 10 am to 6pm. We urge you to take advantage of these opportunities to safeguard your health.

We ask you to continue using good judgment, and to be mindful of those around you who may be more at-risk than you are. Consider wearing masks in crowded situations while indoors, making smart decisions, and displaying mature behaviors related to your health and the health of others.

We will continue to follow the guidance of public health experts, as well as our own infectious disease specialists and virologists, as your health remains a top priority.

Sincerely,

David Lewis
Interim Chancellor
