Vaccination for employees:

Per an announcement by Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021, and in accordance with Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) guidelines, Arkansas Tech University faculty and staff will be eligible to begin receiving the COVID-19 vaccine as early as Monday, Jan. 18, 2021, as part of ADH vaccination plan phase 1B.

ATU is working with local pharmacists, the City of Russellville, the Pope County Office of Emergency Management, the Pope County office for the Arkansas Department of Health and any other entities involved in the process to determine the logistics of vaccine distribution to ATU faculty and staff.  We are hopeful that local pharmacies will receive the vaccine supply needed to hold a vaccination clinic on campus and more details about dates, times and locations of vaccine injections for ATU faculty and staff will be communicated as they become available.  

As is the case around the state and the country, demand for the COVID-19 vaccine at Arkansas Tech University is outpacing the supply that is available in our community. Patience will be important as Arkansas Tech works with local pharmacies and governmental agencies to connect ATU faculty and staff members who wish to receive the vaccine with the most readily available supply. 

ATU has not established a definitive date for a mass vaccination event but will continue to explore every avenue to make that possible. It is too early in the distribution process to know when a supply of vaccine large enough to support such an effort will be available. In the meantime, ATU faculty and staff who wish to receive the vaccine on a more expedited timeline are encouraged to contact local pharmacies and inquire about the availability of appointments. You can see the list of local pharmacies who are participating in the vaccination program here. 

Please direct any questions about vaccine distribution to Heath Whorton, ATU campus emergency manager, at mwhorton1@atu.edu.
Please direct any medical questions about the vaccine to the ATU Health and Wellness Center at hwc@atu.edu.

 COUNSELING SERVICES

The Counseling Center at ATU is dedicated to every student's well being. We strive to ensure that every student is getting the most out of their college experience. You will likely find that college can be stressful and that finding a balance between academic and personal demands will be difficult. As part of the Tech family, your well-being is our priority.  

Your years at Tech are an ideal time to establish healthy behaviors that could have a positive impact on the rest of your life. We encourage you to visit the health center not only when you are unwell, but also when you have questions or concerns about any health and wellness issue. 

If there are no available appointments please call 479-968-0329 or stop by Doc Bryan 119.

If there is an emergency, please call 911.

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call the clinic to cancel or reschedule. If you miss your appointment and did not call to cancel the appointment, a $20.00 no show charge will be added to your student account. We will allow one free pass on a missed appointment per academic year without a fee.
