Today was both a moving and heartbreaking day at Sacred Heart as we honored those in the state who have been lost to COVID-19, along with those connected to members of our community, by reading their names. One of the University’s core values is to recognize the worth and dignity of every human being, and that is what we did today by putting names—and in some cases, faces—to the more than 7,000 people in this state who have already succumbed to this deadly disease.

It has been a long haul since March, but we now know how critical it is not to socialize in groups—big or small—especially without masks and social distancing. The Pioneer Promise will continue to be a critical tool—one we hope you have been using while at home. That said, we can now look down the road and see a light as more and more people receive the vaccine. Now is not the time to let down our guard. The vaccine is here, but the virus also is more prevalent everywhere than at any other time.

The country is currently experiencing increases in COVID-19 cases in most states, including a new strain that seems to spread even more easily than the previous one. Because of that, we have strengthened our protocols regarding quarantining and testing for the beginning of the semester. We are doing that to maximize our chances of starting the semester healthy until the arrival of warmer weather and the increased availability of the vaccine.
