Random COVID-19 Testing
To help contain the spread of COVID-19 in our community, CUNY’s randomized testing program includes a periodic screening of a sampling of vaccinated individuals across all CUNY campuses. This means that every member of our CUNY community (including students, faculty, and staff) will be randomly selected to test for COVID-19 in the coming months, regardless of vaccination status. Note that all members of the CUNY community must comply with this mandate. Failure to do so will result in denied access to all CUNY facilities, including the Queensborough campus. Learn more.
I wish you a successful spring semester. Please feel free to reach out to me directly, if you have any questions.
#GoTigers!
Sincerely,
Dr. Brian R. Mitra
Vice President for Student Affairs & Enrollment Management
