<b><u>TAMUC Mask Policy</u></b>: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
It has come to our attention from the Dean of Students Office that many international students are in violation of the mask policy. Please know that wearing masks in the COVID-19 environment is your show of respect for others around you. In addition, it is
an institutional policy that you wear masks indoor and outdoor, especially in places where it is impossible to maintain social distance. Don’t be infected by coronavirus which is real, deadly and can maim for life. Don’t let your guard down, wear your mask
at all times according to TAMUC policy. Also, observe good hygiene - wash your hands regularly and continue with social distancing.

Please stop by the second floor of the Rayburn Student Center to enjoy the new <b>
<i>Flags of Nations display</i></b>! The exhibit features over 100 national flags, including 60 countries represented on campus by more than 600 international students. The colorful array highlights the diversity that exists at Texas A&M University-Commerce
and speaks to one of the pillars of TAMUC’s strategic plan: inclusion. Plus, it brings the entire floor to life! See picture of flags right in front of RSC elevators on the second floor.<o:p></o:p></p>
