For the DFW COVID-19 Prevalence Study, UT Arlington is partnering with UT Southwestern and Texas Health Resources for a study to help develop ways to reduce COVID-19 deaths. To participate, take the survey by Friday, Dec 4.

If you are selected to participate, you will be notified about making an appointment. A simple nose swab will test for active COVID-19 infection and a COVID-19 antibody blood test will see if you’ve ever been infected.

You do not need to take personal leave time to participate. Please coordinate with your supervisor in advance.

More details are at utswmed.org/covidwork.

To accommodate campus construction activities, the contractor has requested a temporary electrical outage 5-7 a.m. Friday, Dec. 4.

The affected buildings are the PE building, the Smart Hospital clinic and offices, and Texas Hall, which has a back-up generator to power crucial services.

Save any computer work or data in progress during the outage. Additionally, to prevent any possible damage, turn off all electronic equipment including computers, scanners, and copiers prior to this outage. These devices do not need to be unplugged.
