How Columbia's Covid-19 Student Services Corps has pivoted its efforts to help get PPE to protestors.
. So, they quickly mobilized student leaders throughout various disciplines—the dental school, the nursing school, the public health school, and the psychology school—and they launched the Covid-19 Student Services Corps or CSSC. The idea was to create a wide-ranging and multi-tiered service-learning model that would help with various issues that arose just after the pandemic landed in the U.S.
In addition, the CSSC created a program called Mask Check, which helped provide much-needed PPE to local shelters and jails in the New York area. Shayna Feuer, who is currently getting her masters degree in nursing, is helping to head up this arm of the CSSC. Through virtual sewing groups, Feuer and her team of around 14 students distribute the donated masks themselves, mainly to shelters and prisons in and around the Washington Heights area, where Columbia is located.
