Beginning today, Georgia Tech is introducing new rewards to encourage individuals to get vaccinated and test weekly.
Tech Researchers Recruit for CDC Mask Study
Last year, amid an initial wave of Covid-19 infections and as mask wearing became mainstream, Georgia Tech researchers set out to design a better face mask to improve comfort and protection for the wearer. Now, they are recruiting 200 Georgia Tech students to participate in a six-week research study testing the mask. Study participants will receive $150.
Vaccine Administrative Day Available for Employees
To encourage unvaccinated USG employees to schedule their Covid-19 vaccination appointment, and to thank those who are already vaccinated, the USG will provide employees with eight hours of administrative leave.
Finalists Chosen in College of Design Dean Search
Five finalists have been chosen in the College of Design dean search. As part of the final selection process, all candidates will visit campus and present an open seminar addressing their broad vision for the College of Design.
Vaccines Available
Covid-19 vaccines are available to all Georgia Tech students, faculty, and staff, as well as their family members ages 12 and older. Vaccines are being administered at Stamps Health Services on Tuesday of this week.
Get Your Weekly Test
Fast and free saliva-based asymptomatic testing is available to all students, faculty, and staff. Sites are located around campus and offer free treats to testers. Everyone is encouraged to test weekly, even if you have been fully vaccinated, to help make Georgia Tech as safe and healthy as possible.
