WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.560 align:middle line:90% 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:02.700 align:middle line:84% PAM CIPRIANO: Welcome back, everybody. 00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:05.710 align:middle line:84% I'm going to take my mask off to talk to you outside here. 00:00:05.710 --> 00:00:08.210 align:middle line:84% For those of you that I've not had the pleasure to meet yet, 00:00:08.210 --> 00:00:11.043 align:middle line:84% I'm Pam Cipriano, dean of our School of Nursing. 00:00:11.043 --> 00:00:12.710 align:middle line:84% And it is really exciting to welcome you 00:00:12.710 --> 00:00:16.217 align:middle line:84% back to what will once again be a pretty unusual semester. 00:00:16.217 --> 00:00:18.050 align:middle line:84% But I hope for those of you that are already 00:00:18.050 --> 00:00:19.910 align:middle line:84% back that have been doing summer classes 00:00:19.910 --> 00:00:23.600 align:middle line:84% or have arrived already just start your fall work 00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.330 align:middle line:84% or getting ready to do that, that you 00:00:26.330 --> 00:00:28.930 align:middle line:90% are excited and ready to go. 00:00:28.930 --> 00:00:31.220 align:middle line:84% Now, as I mentioned, this is an unusual time 00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:35.900 align:middle line:84% and we have all been transformed by the effects of the COVID-19 00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:37.010 align:middle line:90% virus. 00:00:37.010 --> 00:00:39.890 align:middle line:84% Again, every part of our lives has been altered. 00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:42.990 align:middle line:84% And so as we continue to adapt and be flexible, 00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:45.650 align:middle line:84% there's some things that we know are really important to think 00:00:45.650 --> 00:00:48.535 align:middle line:90% about as we come back together. 00:00:48.535 --> 00:00:49.660 align:middle line:90% Now you've been challenged. 00:00:49.660 --> 00:00:53.450 align:middle line:84% You've seen the video from Dean Groves, who really wanted 00:00:53.450 --> 00:00:55.220 align:middle line:84% to make sure that we are following 00:00:55.220 --> 00:00:58.670 align:middle line:84% all of the right practices in order to keep you safe 00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:00.380 align:middle line:90% and to keep our community safe. 00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:03.290 align:middle line:84% But it really depends on every single one of us 00:01:03.290 --> 00:01:05.120 align:middle line:90% following those guidelines. 00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.430 align:middle line:84% And that's keeping six feet apart, 00:01:07.430 --> 00:01:10.460 align:middle line:84% not having gatherings of more than 15 people, 00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:12.920 align:middle line:84% and wearing your mask pretty much 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.680 align:middle line:84% all the time unless you're eating or drinking. 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.310 align:middle line:84% And so these are really important requirements. 00:01:18.310 --> 00:01:23.490 align:middle line:84% Now I don't know if you've also seen the #YOU-- capital Y-O-U-- 00:01:23.490 --> 00:01:26.490 align:middle line:84% VA, which has been adopted by our second, 00:01:26.490 --> 00:01:31.250 align:middle line:84% third, and fourth year councils to create a wonderful belief 00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:35.450 align:middle line:84% system among all of our students that you are the key to keeping 00:01:35.450 --> 00:01:37.910 align:middle line:90% our greater community safe. 00:01:37.910 --> 00:01:40.700 align:middle line:84% And it's a peer to peer relationship of saying, 00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:42.710 align:middle line:84% we're all in this together, and we all 00:01:42.710 --> 00:01:45.140 align:middle line:84% need to make sure that we're doing the right thing. 00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:47.360 align:middle line:84% I love the message that they said 00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:50.810 align:middle line:90% we can do more by doing less. 00:01:50.810 --> 00:01:54.800 align:middle line:84% So they're asking for a moratorium on CIO events, 00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:56.930 align:middle line:84% and really, again, bringing home the point 00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:59.280 align:middle line:90% that this is an unusual time. 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.900 align:middle line:84% It's a short term sacrifice for a long term gain. 00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:04.940 align:middle line:84% And I think we're all really wanting 00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:07.340 align:middle line:84% to make sure that you can get back on grounds 00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:11.460 align:middle line:84% and stay on grounds and have a great experience this year. 00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:13.640 align:middle line:84% So I don't want to add to any of the threats, which 00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:16.400 align:middle line:84% is wow, look at what's happened on a couple high profile 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:17.300 align:middle line:90% campuses. 00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.580 align:middle line:84% Students came back, we're doing lots of partying. 00:02:19.580 --> 00:02:22.010 align:middle line:84% And guess what-- the campus was shut down 00:02:22.010 --> 00:02:23.850 align:middle line:90% and people have been sent home. 00:02:23.850 --> 00:02:26.100 align:middle line:84% I believe you're going to do better than that. 00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:28.460 align:middle line:84% And I believe together, we will be 00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:31.575 align:middle line:84% able to be tough on each other and remind 00:02:31.575 --> 00:02:33.200 align:middle line:84% each other if for some reason if we see 00:02:33.200 --> 00:02:35.960 align:middle line:84% someone who's not complying, because this is really 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.020 align:middle line:84% part of what we do as responsible members 00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:40.820 align:middle line:90% of our community. 00:02:40.820 --> 00:02:43.790 align:middle line:84% As you know too, one of the goals of UVA 00:02:43.790 --> 00:02:46.370 align:middle line:90% is to create citizen leaders. 00:02:46.370 --> 00:02:49.970 align:middle line:84% This is an opportunity for you to shine and demonstrate 00:02:49.970 --> 00:02:53.840 align:middle line:84% your solidarity and commitment as a citizen leader, 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.260 align:middle line:84% not just at UVA, but for the community of Charlottesville. 00:02:57.260 --> 00:02:59.450 align:middle line:84% So I have great confidence in you. 00:02:59.450 --> 00:03:02.090 align:middle line:84% I know our faculty and staff are so excited that you're 00:03:02.090 --> 00:03:02.750 align:middle line:90% coming back. 00:03:02.750 --> 00:03:04.460 align:middle line:90% We all want to be here together. 00:03:04.460 --> 00:03:07.850 align:middle line:84% Even though many classes will be online, we have a lot of face 00:03:07.850 --> 00:03:10.160 align:middle line:84% to face experiences, because you're going to be 00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:12.620 align:middle line:90% nurses or already, are nurses. 00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:14.450 align:middle line:84% And so this is an important part of us 00:03:14.450 --> 00:03:18.140 align:middle line:84% being able to have those opportunities continue. 00:03:18.140 --> 00:03:21.170 align:middle line:84% So I'm here to help in any way answer any questions, 00:03:21.170 --> 00:03:24.440 align:middle line:84% reinforce all the positives and great things you're doing. 00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:27.140 align:middle line:84% I want to be able to welcome all of you at some point 00:03:27.140 --> 00:03:31.730 align:middle line:84% as we continue to either pass six feet apart or have 00:03:31.730 --> 00:03:33.890 align:middle line:84% opportunities to continue on Zoom. 00:03:33.890 --> 00:03:38.060 align:middle line:84% So thank you for your part in making this a success. 00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:40.980 align:middle line:84% I wish you a wonderful summer fall semester. 00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:42.480 align:middle line:90% Look forward to seeing you soon. 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:44.030 align:middle line:90% Thanks. 00:03:44.030 --> 00:03:46.000 align:middle line:90%
