tudent organizations at Keiser
University are a great way to get
involved! The Fort Lauderdale
campus has organizations ranging
from honor societies to those with
programmatic relevance. Members of
student organizations are often called upon
to represent the university and their
programs to the public and at events, all
while meeting like-minded peers that are
vital to current and future success.
Both the Student Government Association
(SGA) (top left) and the Student Nurse
Association (SNA) (bottom left) attended
the Scare Fair Open House this past
October, dressing up and decorating their
cars for the annual Open House’s Trunk or
Treat event.
They oversaw games and handed out candy
to excited trick-or-treaters, including
princesses, flamingos, and young skeletons.
The Scare Fair was just one of many
Halloween-themed events held at the
campus, especially for the student
organizations. The Student Government
Association, Student Nurse Association,
and the Student Physical Therapy
Association (SPTA) all participated in the
pumpkin carving contest. Voting occurred
by survey and pumpkins stayed on display
in the 1st floor lobby. The SNA were the
clear winners!
Stay tuned for November events, including
the SGA wall of thankfulness, canned good
drives to benefit those in need, and more.

COVID-19 PROTOCOL UPDATES
Keiser University Summer COVID-19 Student Protocol Update
Effective Date: 6/1/21
Based upon recent national guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Keiser University will make
masks optional in campus building(s) rather than required for fully vaccinated students effective on 6/1/21.
Those not fully vaccinated are required to continue wearing masks according to CDC guidance.
Please note, we have put numerous preventative measures in place to minimize risk and reduce the spread of
COVID-19. Those measures will remain in place at this time, including but not limited to: temperature checks
for those not fully vaccinated, maintaining social distancing, continued cleaning and sanitization, use of
plexiglass throughout facility, managing facility density, and eliminating areas of congregation (break rooms,
etc.).
This policy is subject to change by the University at any time due to CDC guidance and other factors. Please
note, this policy pertains solely to Keiser University students. Visitors and guests are required to wear masks
at all times while in campus building(s).
This protocol is subject to enforcement as outlined in the Keiser University catalog. We expect our students to
be honest and respectful to fellow students, faculty, staff, and administration regarding interaction that may
involve close quarters where the request for a mask may be made by either party. This should not be
interpreted as an offensive request but rather a safety precaution for the individual who may have reason to
make such a request.
