The Powder Blue is for YOU – the students of Ole Miss. Each week, The Powder Blue will deliver info, answers and updates about what’s happening at the university. Let us know what you want to hear by sending ideas or questions for future editions to thepowderblue@olemiss.edu!
Welcome, Ole Miss freshmen! ❤️💙
We swear it's not usually like this.
Are you campus ready?
We have to work harder this semester for things we used to take for granted, but it'll be worth if it we make it work together. Everything you need to know about being “campus ready” is on UM's coronavirus website, including the student page. If you have questions, ask someone – your professor, your CA, or you can always email thepowderblue@olemiss.edu.
Take the “Are You Ready?” Pledge
UM student leaders wrote the “Are You Ready?” Pledge to ask every person at Ole Miss to take responsibility for their impact on each other and our community's health. You can take the voluntary pledge here.
A message from ASB President Joshua Mannery, co-author of the pledge
This is important 👇
Ole Miss is using the free Everbridge contact tracing app to securely alert people on campus who may have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Download the app, keep it running it at all times and use UM's Daily Symptom Checker in the app every day before leaving home.
Care packages are available to everyone on campus! 📦
Free care packages include a mask, gloves, hand sanitizer and a health info card. Pick up your care package this Wednesday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the UM Law School, Business Row, Student Union, Lamar Hall or the Lyceum Circle.
I have questions
A lot of the new COVID-19 protocols are in the Campus Ready Plan, but there’s a lot to keep up with, so we’ll try and point you in the right direction. For general class questions, visit the Keep Learning website.
A: Tutoring info here, counseling info here. (Hey – everyone knows this semester might get a little tough, so if you need ANY help, please reach out to someone.)
