RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TEXAS – UTRGV continues to navigate a new normal as more people gradually return to campus, so hybrid operations have been developed to facilitate what that new normal should look like. 

To help with the transition and to ensure the safety and wellness of staff, faculty and student employees, the university’s Office of Human Resources, in collaboration with the UTRGV Return to Campus Task Force, has developed specific training with resources and guidance for employees and supervisors. 

A special guide – the Return to Campus Resources – lays out processes to raise awareness of new health and well-being protocols, responsibilities and helpful practices. 

HR is asking all faculty, staff and student employees to adhere to the guidelines in the Return to Campus Resources to maintain the health and safety of the on-campus community. 

All employees should: 

• Review the Return to Campus Employee Guide.
• Or view the recorded Return to Campus Training for Employees.
• Acknowledge review of the content.

 

All resources and more information are available via Blackboard. Please refer to this document for access guidance.  

UTRGV President Guy Bailey said the health and safety of the UTRGV community is the number one priority. 

“As we are working during a time of uncertainty, we continue to be cautious and work diligently to be sure that anyone who steps on campus feels comfortable and safe,” he said. “We will continue to seek guidance, make adjustments when necessary and listen to our university community.” 

 

IMPORTANT REMINDER

Individuals must review screening questions regarding COVID-19 symptoms and perform a self-screening before returning to campus.
