Dear UACS families,
As most of you likely know already, Philadelphia is entering another period of increased COVID-19 resctrictions in light of rising case numbers. We know that this has been a long and challenging road for everyone, and has affected people in different ways. Please take care of yourselves and each other when you can. Do not hesitate to ask for help, and please read through our newsletter for some examples of organizations and hotlines you can call for support.
If you're looking for ways to stay active and engaged while staying safe, join us in our virtual programming! Enrollment is still open for any students interested in engaging with our virtual UACS programs.
Wishing you good health and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate,
The Netter Center
