COVID-19 Response Coordination Task Force
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the University is receiving a number of requests and suggestions about how Notre Dame can help, both locally and nationally. To assist, the COVID-19 Response Coordination Task Force has been created with representatives from across campus to field requests for advice, assistance, and support.
The Task Force interprets each request, assesses Notre Dame's capacity to address the need, and makes connections with appropriate resources on campus when possible.
Current projects being coordinated by the Task Force range from helping the community with food distribution challenges to looking for testing methods and processes to determine who has the antibodies that indicate that a individual has had COVID-19.
