Campuses continue to advance the health and well-being of their students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Successful, layered prevention strategies depend on close collaboration between campus health resources, housing and student affairs, among others. While not an exhaustive list of federal support, we would like to remind campuses about some of the federal resources available to institutions of higher education (IHE) to mitigate COVID-19 and provide direct aid to students.

Survey data collected during the Omicron surge include some concerning indications of pandemic fatigue among college students, albeit with gains in one key metric—booster uptake. This report analyzes this and other trends chiefly using four waves of data from the probability-based Axios-Ipsos pandemic tracking poll—two waves conducted before identification of the Omicron variant (Nov. 5-8 and 19-22, 2021) and two during the Omicron surge (Jan. 7-10 and 21-24, 2022). This analysis was produced for the Campus COVID-19 Vaccine Initiative by Langer Research Associates. It is made possible by Axios-Ipsos’ generous agreement to include ACHA’s question identifying college community members in its ongoing pandemic surveys.
