GRADUATE

COVID-19 QUARANTINE Support

Welcome Graduates!

As COVID-19 cases rise at the U.S. Air Force Academy and around the world, the cadets have been quarantined to base in efforts to slow the spread of the virus. The cadets also will not be allowed to travel home for Thanksgiving. In result, the cadet wing is in need of support and motivation to help them get through the next couple weeks and finals week. Below are some resources and ways you can support the cadets and stay connected during these unprecedented times.

SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY

In the last couple of weeks, our daily routines and lives have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19. Now more than ever we need to be a force for service and support our Air Force Family and local communities. Most importantly, you need to take care of your own health so that you can help others. However, if you are able to help here are some ways you can help:​
​

  • Join ZoomieLink and mentor current cadets.
  • Reach out to neighbors, classmates and loved ones. Many individuals are quarantined. It certainly gets lonely staying home. Many folks would appreciate a call from some checking in on them and asking how they are doing.
  • Take a few moments to write letters to health care workers who are working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. A few words of encouragement would mean a lot to these national heroes.
  • While we urge you not to visit each other, offering to drop off groceries, supplies, or medications on the front step for some of your more vulnerable neighbors or loved ones is okay as long as you take precautions and you are not sick.    
  • Collect canned foods or supplies for the local food banks (keep your distance when dropping off).
  • Many schools are closing, but the parents are still working. Homeschooling and working is not going to be easy! You can help virtually assist families by setting up video tutoring for the kids. In addition, you can reach out to local schools to see if they need online tutors or support as they transition to online school.
  • Support small and local businesses by ordering take-out or pickup.
