A look back at student COVID-19 testing â Stanford style
After nine months of COVID-19 testing at two pop-up clinics on campus, one for undergraduates and one for graduate students, Stanford has transitioned to a self-swab surveillance program.

During fall, winter and spring quarters of the 2020-21 academic year, undergraduates who made the twice-weekly trek to Tresidder Memorial Union for COVID-19 testing were invited to take a flower after getting tested.
The colorful hand-written sign, which stood in between two buckets of fresh flowers, said:
Smile! Treat yourself! Take a flower! U deserve it!
The flower give-away, courtesy of the Stanford Federal Credit Union, was one of the ways the university put a friendly face on its mandatory testing program.
