UGA College of Pharmacy Coronavirus Information
The College of Pharmacy has created this page to provide our faculty, staff and students with the latest updates and resources on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. Stay informed by visiting the page regularly.
UPDATE: To help keep our Coronavirus page clear and easy to use, we have created a new Coronavirus Communications Archive. You will find past issues of the Updates + Resources Newsletter there, along with messages from the Dean’s Office, President Jere Morehead, and the University System of Georgia. No messages or links have been deleted–just moved to the Archive. A link to the Archive page is always visible in the navigation menu on the far right side of this page.
