USF's director of student health services hopes that 24-hour PCR tests will identify students who are infected upon return to campus so they can isolate and hopefully curb the spread.

Many colleges have canceled December graduation ceremonies while continuing to host in-person events, like football games. One graduating senior says it feels like "a slap in the face."

Two games have been added to the football schedule. The Seminoles will play at home against Duke on Dec. 12. And they’ll take on Wake Forest on Dec. 19.

As of Nov. 22, the 15-to-24 age group comprised about 16% of Florida's cases. The impact was evident in counties that are home to three of the state's largest campuses.

Catalyzed by the response to the pandemic and the inequities it is causing, people are flocking to graduate programs in public health to become the next front-line workers.

Florida A&M University has chosen to forego the 2021 spring seasons for football, indoor track and field, and volleyball. The announcement leaves softball, baseball, and men’s and women’s basketball as the remaining sports.

Young adults are preparing to travel home for Thanksgiving, but the coronavirus is making things complicated. Epidemiologists say there are things families can to do reduce the risk of infection.

There are a lot of students following safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but there are also a lot that are not, says Gainesville City Commissioner David Arreola.

Changing the testing requirement is up to the State University System’s Board of Governors. It has not, despite students, parents and high school counselors urging it to do so.

The board heard presentations and voted on topics ranging from COVID-19 research projects to the effects of student wellness and success.
