This fall marks the first maskless semester at St. Thomas since March 2020. While the requirement to wear masks in classrooms and indoor public spaces has been removed, the Center for Well-Being remains focused on COVID-19 prevention and response. Joe LaPorte has the story.
The Center for Well-Being restructured positions to add the responsibility of peer education and health promotion to the pre-existing violence prevention program manager role. This position also has an explicit focus on LGBTQ+ health, making it the first position with a focus on the LGBTQ+ community in the Center for Well-Being.
St. Thomas has reported 231 total positive cases through Oct. 9, but the numbers don’t tell the whole story. St. Thomas contact tracers urge students to report test results with the intention of stopping the spread, not punishing students. Chief Story Editor and Social Media Manager Mia Laube has the story.
