C19C Student Feature: Chantelle Ballard

The COVID-19 Committee (C19C) is a student-led committee that recruits and connects OUHSC students to COVID-19 projects and initiatives happening on campus. The C19C also recognizes student involvement in the fight to end the pandemic.

Chantelle Ballard, an interdisciplinary public health student, assisted with bringing in the 2021 Local Vaccine Outreach Project through LEND/AUCD to develop statewide outreach for COVID-19 vaccines for individuals with disabilities. Chantelle created health education and self-advocacy videos, formed a social media and website hub for this project, and created outreach opportunities for those who needed to receive vaccine and accessibility assistance.

If you are a student who has been (or is) involved in the fight to end the pandemic, please connect with the C19C at https://bit.ly/3sFuR8z to have your contributions recognized.
