1 UAlbany hosted upstate New York’s first state-run COVID-19 mobile testing site. 2 UAlbany buses delivered meals to Albany Meals on Wheels clients and the Cohoes Senior Center. University Parking and Mass Transit Services partnered with LifePath, a not-for-profit senior-services organization. 3 Mark Yang ’92 donated 2,000+ masks and gloves to St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany. 4 A generous alumnus matched all gifts to the Student Emergency Fund, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. 5 “It’s a heck of a feeling to see the place I go to school has got my back at work. Thanks for looking out for us; we really are putting these to good use”. (Robert Vivas, UAlbany student and nurse
who found a new supply of PPE awaiting him at work.) 6 Coach Will Brown and his wife, Jamie, helped raise $100,000 for Capital Region cancer patients facing new struggles due to the pandemic. 7 The School of Education is offering several resources to K-12 teachers as they navigate the transition to remote teaching and learning. 8 The School of Public Health helped with two state-led studies examining potential COVID-19 drug treatments: a randomized controlled trial and an observational study. UAlbany is NYSDOH’s lead academic partner on the observational study, while another leading university will be the academic partner on the randomized trial. 9 Virtual Purple Friday endures...virtually!
