The University of Detroit Mercy will be adding a 40,000 square foot campus in Novi to offer additional graduate level and health education programs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

BOONE, N.C. — Since last Monday, when a sophomore at his school died from suspected Covid-19 complications, Chase Sturgis says he has been thinking about his own bout with the coronavirus — and his own mortality.

Mr. Sturgis, 21, had been avoiding socializing over the summer, but as students at his school, Appalachian State University, began returning to campus in August, he yielded to temptation. “We went out to a bar,” he said. Within days he felt ill, and then tested positive for coronavirus: “To this day I have no sense of taste or smell.”

But even more unnerving is the “really, honestly scary” realization that he and the student who died, 19-year-old Chad Dorrill, were sick at about the same time, with similar symptoms and no known pre-existing conditions. “He died a week or two after he got the virus,” Mr. Sturgis said. “It has been about two weeks

It’s a move that isn’t sitting well with some parents as they weigh the dangers of face to face learning during a pandemic.

The policy has sparked outrage among some students and parents of WOCCISD, and many feel like they’re having to choose between health and an education.

Virtual learning has become a way of life during the pandemic. The prospect of it not being available concerns parent Ryan Melancon.

“This decision doesn’t just affect money, it doesn’t just affect kids’ education, it affects the lives of parents and the grandparents these students will come and contact with,” Melancon said.

WASHTENAW COUNTY, MI — Eastern Michigan University will soon begin testing wastewater for infectious diseases such as COVID-19, the university recently announced.

The university is partnering with the Michigan-based firm Aquasight to track the presence of the virus in wastewater flowing from residence halls and apartment complexes on the EMU campus, according to a news release. While the monitoring process is not diagnostic, it could provide an early detection of asymptomatic cases, the university said.

“Wastewater testing is another important method to track the prevalence of COVID-19 on our campus,” EMU President James Smith said. “The results of the tests will help us pinpoint any concerning trends and expand individual testing among specific populations as necessary.”
