Testimonials
Words from our community
“As a student researcher, it was insightful for me to see all the dedication, time commitment, collaboration, and passion that each team member gave to collect this imperative data regarding the impact of the spread of COVID-19 within the communities of North Carolina. I am thankful for everyone in the community who trusted us and shared their information by completing the surveys. The data collected will help to create better outcomes and positive changes for our future.”
