Collaborative Research Partnership

CSEwL and United Way of Lancaster County  partnered to work on a project to assess the health, social, and economic impacts of COVID-19 in Lancaster County. This multidisciplinary study covered the fields of economics, government, public health, sociology, epidemiology, and language learning, and has been designed by the following F&M College researchers:

• Dr. Jessica G. Cox, Associate Professor. Spanish and Linguistics;
• Dr. Emily A. Marshall, Assistant Professor. Sociology and Public Health;
• Dr. Jennifer O. Meyer, Assistant Professor. Government and Public Health;
• Dr. Harriet Okatch, Assistant Professor. Biology and Public Health; and
• Dr. Wei-Ting Yen, Assistant Professor. Government

This assessment was performed through two rounds of surveys by F&M’s Center for Opinion Research. The first round of surveys ran through October 2020 and the second round of surveys ran through March 2021.
