Face coverings are no longer required at UHD per Governor Abbott's Executive Order #36. For those who prefer to wear face coverings, they may certainly continue to do so. UHD encourages unvaccinated people to wear face coverings. We also strongly encourage our students, faculty and staff to get vaccinated. |
ESO wants you to know you have many resources available during the
University's return to work transition. Below you will find information to help
you quickly find what you need. If you need to contact us, please feel free to
