C19C Student Feature: Evan C. Searcy

The COVID-19 Committee (C19C) is a student-led committee that recruits and connects OUHSC students to COVID-19 projects and initiatives happening on campus. The C19C also recognizes student involvement in the fight to end the pandemic.

Evan Searcy, a bachelor of public health student, volunteered at the OU vaccination clinic in Spring 2021, interned in the Emergency Preparedness and Response Service department of the Oklahoma State Health Department, where he assisted in the coordination of ordering and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics and medications (monoclonal, antiviral) within the state. He was charged with revamping and revising the OSDH COVID-19 dashboard to aid researchers and other professionals in identifying past and present trends, as well as gathering relevant information to devise more meaningful and decisive interventions and preventative measures.

If you are a student who has been (or is) involved in the fight to end the pandemic, please connect with the C19C at https://bit.ly/3sFuR8z to have your contributions recognized.
