In all about 280 students were vaccinated during spring semester. An education campaign was also held with faculty and staff allowing their testimonials for getting vaccinated to be put on posters, social media and other publicity. A Lyceum event was also prepared by faculty to help students understand the science behind vaccinations.
“The student performers have adapted to this project with patience, creativity and a willingness to tackle new challenges,” said Kevin Dudley, assistant professor, head of design and production in the E&H Theatre Department.
The E&H Alumni Association, Smyth County Public Libraries, and the Holston Rivers Chapter of Virginia Master Naturalist (HRVMN) joined forces to offer a three-part series to celebrate citizen science – the act of community persons collecting data that can be used for scientific research.
