Campus Champion

Health Department Chair Jill Murphy teaches students in her epidemiology class how to collect, analyze and compile data to make decisions. When SUNY Cortland began responding to COVID-19 in March, her expertise led to an invitation to work with the university’s Incident Management Team (IMT). Jill helps the IMT make science- and evidence-based decisions, taking into consideration many factors. “The best part is working across skill sets, getting to know this committed group of people whose goal is the health and safety of all members of the SUNY Cortland community,” she said. And in her classroom, students get to see epidemiology in action as they learn how COVID-19 data are gathered and analyzed.

A student braces for her flu vaccination on Monday, taking advantage of a partnership with Wegmans Pharmacy to hold three flu shot clinics on campus. Since this year’s influenza season will be occurring in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a flu vaccination may help reduce the chances of having both infections at the same time, which could lead to serious complications. Students and staff can register online for the clinics, which continue on Thursday, Oct. 1 and Monday, Oct. 19.
