"The university has some of the lowest infection rates that the nation has seen. So when I talk to the students and said what are you doing that I can learn from, they said from the beginning the administration created the tone that the students would be responsible for the leadership and responsibility needed to ensure that they could stay in school," said Dr. Birx.
