Dear friends,
I hope you and your families are in continued health.
The University of Miami and the UHealth System continue to share our expertise with national media outlets and our hundreds of thousands of supporters around the globe. I would like to recognize the students, faculty, staff, researchers, and clinicians for their courage and creativity in responding to COVID-19 and the emerging challenges. We are working together to build a better normal in the wake of the pandemic.
As we conclude the week and move to phase 1 of reopening in Miami Dade County next week, I would like to share with you an interview I did yesterday on our University’s response to the pandemic. Below you will also find an update on our efforts.
Please email or call me should you need further information about the University’s actions during this crisis.
In good health,
Rudy Fernandez
Senior Vice President for Public Affairs and Communications,
and Chief of Staff to the President
