Liz Frisch, a class of 2021 graduate, said it’s pretty unique for a graduating class to be as tight-knit as hers, though. With each graduating class having only 12 students, they work together regularly to help one another succeed.
“Anytime you’re confused or anytime you run into a roadblock, there are people that will help you figure out what to do,” said Frisch said, who graduated from college over 10 years ago and worked in hospitality and marketing before deciding to change career paths.
Summit County reported 51 new cases of COVID-19 over the week, according to the county’s coronavirus webpage.
The total number of cases among residents stands at 3,649. Two new hospitalizations among residents were reported over the week for a total of 136 since March 5, 2020.
The state’s COVID-19 dial expired last week, and Summit County health officials adopted a similar though less restrictive dial to use locally. The dial change returned Summit to level yellow. To move forward on the dial into level blue, the county would need an incidence rate of 250 or lower and 60% of residents would need to be fully vaccinated.
