Dear Rowan Community,

At Rowan University, we are committed to proactive public health initiatives to keep our community safe and informed. Please explore our campus resources and learn how we can work together to protect our environment and each other.

Our public health strategy focuses on early detection, clear communication, and accessible clinical care. Please familiarize yourself with the following critical initiatives and resources available to you:

• Symptomatic Testing & Appointments: If you are experiencing urgent or lingering symptoms like a headache, fever, fatigue, sore throat, or nausea and you wish to be seen by a provider, schedule an appointment with Student Health online. If you are not sure of next steps, call the Wellness Center at 856-256-4333 and ask to speak with our Student Health professionals.
• Campus Wastewater Testing: In partnership with NJ Department of Health and the CDC, Rowan University actively monitors campus health by participating in wastewater testing. This allows us to spot potential infectious outbreaks early and respond swiftly to protect the campus.
• Local & State Public Health Collaboration: We work closely with our regional health departments to ensure our guidelines align with current medical advice. We encourage you to reference the Gloucester County Department of Health and the New Jersey Department of Health for local public health guidance, as well as the New Jersey Respiratory Illness Reports to stay informed about seasonal health trends. 

Staying healthy is a shared responsibility. By monitoring your health, focusing on proper nutrition, sleep, and hygiene recommendations, you help ensure that Rowan remains a vibrant and safe place to learn and live.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping our community safe.

Sincerely,
Scott Woodside
Associate Vice President for Community Health and Well-Being
