On May 19, a trio of public health experts from Drexel University convened in a panel discussion to answer questions submitted by faculty and professional staff and to address concerns related to the COVID-19 vaccine.
At Drexel, proof of vaccination against COVID-19 will be mandatory for students in the upcoming academic year with a full return to campus, and the decision about a similar vaccine mandate for employees has not yet been made. Recently, the University surveyed faculty and professional staff about their COVID-19 vaccination status; 50% of employees responded, and 94% of them were either fully vaccinated or in process of vaccination at the time.

Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer Megan Weyler: Until now, we have only provided return to campus notifications on a term-by-term basis. We understand this can be challenging for those juggling personal and professional obligations and the current remote situation has a very large impact.
All who are currently remote received a letter with an anticipated spring return. Unfortunately, fully reopening campus for spring is not an option. Each of the division heads are finalizing plans that will expand the return-to-work phases to include phase 5 for the current spring term, phase 6 for summer and phase 7 for fall, with the hopes of a fuller reopening for fall term. The final plans are due on March 5 and individual communications will follow in the week thereafter.
