One of the latest modifications to the Saint Anselm College campus is the addition of a COVID-19 testing lab in the Sullivan Ice Arena. Each week the college conducts nearly 700 tests on a random selection of students, faculty, and staff to monitor and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on campus. The testing is done using the Quiden Sofia SARS Antigen Fluorescent Immunoassay (FIA), a cutting edge little machine that can provide rapid test results in 15 minutes. Health Services and Sports Medicine run the show with the help of a few student workers. One of these students is the voice behind many of these blogs and a Science Olympiad alumnus, who competed in Disease Detectives many years ago. The on-campus COVID-19 testing lab is just one example of the many things that Saint Anselm College has done to keep everyone safe and on the Hilltop until Turkey Day!
