Rishihood University has formed a COVID-19 Response Team of central and unit-level representation, including faculty, staff and administrators to give recommendations and guide our response to the pandemic. The inputs of the students are considered through a Student Advisory Board.

The functions of the COVID-19 Response Team:

• Act as the first point of contact for COVID-19 protocols at RU
• Support health and well-being of RU community members (including mental health)
• Prepare strategic plan on COVID management for RU
