Moment of silence and other activities mark the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ways in which the University community responded.
The 蘑菇传媒 community joined together in a moment of silence at noon Tuesday, March 9, to acknowledge the one-year mark of COVID-19.
On that day in 2020, Medical Center leaders met to prepare for the arrival of COVID-19 in the Greater Rochester region. Shortly after, the first local case was confirmed, and the first patient was admitted to Strong Memorial Hospital.
From that point on, the lives鈥攑rofessional and personal鈥攐f everyone in the community changed.
Students, faculty, and staff were invited to reflect on the struggles and losses that so many have endured over the past year, as well as the compassion and heroism demonstrated throughout the community.
In addition to the moment silence, flags were lowered at half-staff across the University. At sunset, the exterior of the Medical Center was lit in blue and gold.
