Acknowledgement, Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk & Indemnity Agreement

activities to support the success of students participating in limited programs of study and to
provide access and hands-on experience that is critical to train the next generation of industry

education modalities necessitated by viral pandemic. I understand that I am not required to
participate, I am choosing to do so and that there may be other avenues available to me to acquire
the necessary credits for my field of study, including but not limited to delaying my participation in

campus activities to reopen.

employees, and agents from liability and any and all claims including the negligence of District,
its officers, employees and agents, resulting in personal injury, accident, or illnesses (including

with a communicable disease such as COVID. I have read the previous paragraphs and I know
understand, and appreciate these and other risks which are inherent in this Activity. I hereby
acknowledge that my participation is with awareness of these risks, and that I knowingly assume
