COVID testing site volunteers are needed
The COVID test pod that opened recently at the WoodPEC needs volunteers to greet students, manage queues, etc. Students will be tested through early November, which is the volunteer time commitment. Engaging available Emory employees will avoid the expense of hiring temporary staff. Volunteers will be trained and provided with proper PPE. If you want to volunteer or have employees in your unit who can be reassigned, please contact Mekeshua North at mekeshua.l.north@emory.edu or Debby Morey at dmorey@emory.edu.
