Pledge

As members of the Detroit Mercy community, we all play an important role in the Titans Together effort. We share a mutual obligation to care for each other and the Titans Together Pledge supports our Jesuit and Mercy mission. Please help our community by taking this pledge to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure the health and safety of everyone who graces our campuses.

Ensure students have access to safe spaces and proper technology to succeed in classes.
Take every measure we can to keep our campuses safe.

I PLEDGE TO:

Monitor for the symptoms of COVID-19 and report to a medical professional if I experience fever of 100.4 F (38 C) or higher, dry cough, difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat or loss of taste or smell.
