COVID-19 presents serious public health concerns. Aims Community College is committed
to slowing the spread of the coronavirus, while maintaining our mission of teaching
and service. (Read full statement here)
Aims Community College is committed to ensuring that all students are able to study and learn in an environment that is healthy, safe, and free from bias or discrimination. Public health emergencies, such as the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), are stressful times for people and communities.
Stigma can result from a lack of knowledge about how COVID-19 spreads. People may feel a need to blame or struggle to cope with fears about disease and death. A person’s ethnicity, language or association with a country or region is not a risk factor for this virus, nor a reason for blame. Fear and anxiety can lead to social stigma — including discrimination against a group of people, a place, or a nation. Everyone can help stop stigma related to COVID-19 by knowing the facts and sharing them with others in your community.
Aims Community College encourages the prompt reporting of any incident of discrimination and/or harassment. Reports related to incidents of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation can be made by:
Submitting an incident report form
We learned late last evening an Aims Community College employee has tested positive for COVID-19.
All known Aims employees and students who were in contact with the individual at Aims who tested positive for COVID-19 have been contacted by the College and the Weld County Department of Health.
Aims Human Resources and Safety & Security are continuously monitoring this evolving situation and will take additional actions to protect the health and safety of our Aims community as necessary. If you think you have symptoms related to the COVID-19, please contact your healthcare provider for medical assistance. Also, please contact your supervisor and HR at Covid19.acc@aims.edu to inform them of your health status. Students, please contact the Dean of Students Office at deanofstudents@aims.edu.
Aims continues to take proactive steps to ensure the safety of all students and employees whom we treasure and value. To this end, we will continue to actively monitor the health of our Aims community.
