With increased COVID-19 testing the number of confirmed cases will increase, and the need for more contact tracing will also. Contact tracers track down people with a potentially contagious disease. The contact tracer can alert that person, who may not know they’ve been in contact with a corona virus patient, that they should self-quarantine and get tested. Currently, SCDHEC states that there are 230 contact tracers in South Carolina, and they’re in the process of identifying another 770, for a total of 1,000 contact tracers in the state. For more information, visit www.scdhec.gov/fo rm/tracer. TARGET IS PROUD TO PRESENT: TARGET LAB X HBCU Target Lab is an immersive professional development experience you don’t want to miss.

Morris College T2010 Fall Editionhe Update Breaking New Ground... Join Us At The 2010 Fall Harvest Rally Worship Service Preacher: Reverend Dr. Ronald Bobo, Sr. Senior Pastor West Side Missionary Baptist Church St. Louis, MO Saturday, November 20, 2010 Worship Service 10:30 AM Annual Parade 1:00 PM See Page 48 for Speaker’s Biography From Our President Morris College is literally breaking new ground. The college’s new Forensics Center, designed to strengthen its Criminal Justice program, is nearly completed and will be fully operational during the coming spring semester. This facility will expand opportunities for our students to be trained in the most current investigative techniques involving fingerprinting, ballistics, chemical testing, genetic testing and computer forensics. It will also render a service to the community for law enforcement agencies that may wish to have access to the center’s labs and classrooms. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office has already expressed an interest. Other physical improvements already funded to begin include the construction of a new residence hall, an administrative building, a student health and wellness center, a wing to expand the Wilson-Booker Science Building, and ongoing pavement projects throughout the campus. Construction is already underway for a new physical plant building. All projects funded under the Solomon Jackson, Jr. magnanimous gift will be completed as soon as possible with a new residence hall being the most immediate priority. From accommodating increases in enrollment, to promoting lifelong healthy lifestyles, to impacting academic offerings, all of these improvements are a testament to the college’s dramatic response to new opportunities and goals that help enhance our image as a quality institution.
