Welcome Back?
Dear UTRGV Family,
You might be asking yourself: “Welcome Back? It’s already October!”
We know. And like all semesters, this one is flying by too.
Thankfully, COVID-19 vaccines and protocols have made it safer to be on campus. And as more students, faculty, and staff return to in-person activities, you can count on us being here to welcome you (back) home.
Finish Fall Strong & Get Your Booster!
Even though it seems like the term just started, the holidays and opportunities to gather with loved ones are almost here. Now that boosters of the Pfizer-BioNTech (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccine are widely available, we strongly encourage everyone who currently qualifies to get one ASAP!
Right now, all campus community members aged 18+ who feel at increased risk of severe COVID-19 because of institutional or occupational exposure (at least 6 months after second dose of Pfizer) can get a booster.

Vaccines are essential for a safe and successful campus experience, but they’re not the only thing we have to offer you this fall. For everything else you need to thrive (including vaccine FAQs), visit UTRGV.edu/WelcomeBack.
Thank you for doing your part to ensure we continue offering in-person courses, services, and other activities this semester. If you have any questions or concerns, please email welcomeback@utrgv.edu
