“College students serve as contact tracers as pandemic colors campus life.”

David Larsen, associate professor in the Department of Public Health at Falk College, was quoted by NBC News for the story “College students serve as contact tracers as pandemic colors campus life.” Larsen, who specializes in epidemiology, is leading the testing and contact tracing efforts at Syracuse University and has found ways to involve students in the process. Larsen says “the circles that I’ve talked with, it’s like, ‘Well, how can I help? How can I help this effort?’ And so we created a safe way to do that,” which is creating positions for students to become campus contact tracers.
