I know that there is widespread concern in our community about the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), and I want you to know that your health is top priority. With the increasing uncertainty and growing number of infected individuals around the world, I encourage you to take responsibility for yourself and your family. It is important to take a proactive approach to minimize exposure.

I want you to know that I can provide resources to you via online means, if you would like to request a session from home. I would like to suggest a private space with internet access and a computer, laptop or tablet. It is also possible to conduct a session with a smartphone, but it is generally not as reliable or comfortable.

To request/schedule a session, send an email to jswashin@utmb.edu and include the following:

• Name, Student ID and Department
• Contact number (in case we experience technical difficulties)
• Dates and times that are feasible for you

We will eventually be on the other side of this. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

It is a pivotal time for student health. Now more than ever, students need the right resources to keep them safe and healthy.
