2. Centre County COVID-19 Community Response Requested

The Centre County COVID-19 Community Response Team, a coalition of students, staff, faculty, and community members building a mutual aid network stretching across the county, aims to help mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. They are requesting feedback on how they can best help fellow members of MEGA. You are welcome to fill out the form below answering the following questions.

 

  • What new issues is your community facing now due to COVID-19?
  • What existing issues have been exacerbated due to the pandemic and shutdown?
  • What kind of responses have you been getting from Penn State’s administration if you have reached out?
  • What resources does your community need access to?
  • Is there a way that Penn State could better serve you and your group?

4. Wednesday’s Fun Fact 

Happy April Fool’s Day! I hope you can enjoy the fake April Fool’s Day Parade press release (started in 1986!) and this lovely quote:
“The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.” – Mark Twain
Have a great week!
