SHS Director’s Message

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented our society with a daunting challenge unlike any other we have encountered in modern times. On the one hand, we have seen the devastating effects of this virus, disrupting our way of life and threatening the very existence of our society. On the other hand, we have simultaneously witnessed human resilience manifested by rapid adaptation and great innovation. It can be difficult to imagine life returning to “normal” as we once knew it. However, I firmly believe that our irrepressible human spirit will ultimately triumph over this adversity. Working collaboratively, the collective efforts of members from our community can and willovercome this obstacle. In this “new normal”, what will be left behind are the medical, technological and societal advances that will benefit generations to come.

I look forward to the time when I can greet you all personally on our beautiful campus. Meanwhile, be assured that we will continue to work tirelessly to make sure your physical & mental health and well-being are provided for, your education continues uninterrupted and your courses are enhanced with the innovations that will help you persevere through this transformative time.

Stay safe and make sure to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Best wishes,

Prateek Jindal, DO

Director, Student Health Services
