SCS Pandemic Safety Officers and Community Pandemic Safety Ambassadors

Carnegie Mellon University's Pandemic Safety Initiative is comprised of two distinct roles, the Pandemic Safety Officer (PSO) and the Community Pandemic Safety Ambassador (CPSA). Both roles serve as resources to the CMU community, assist in the COVID-19 mitigation strategy and assist in Return-to-Campus efforts.

Below is a list of SCS's PSOs and CPSAs and the SCS buildings in which they are primarily assigned.

SCS Community Pandemic Safety Ambassadors

Community Pandemic Safety Ambassador (CPSA) is a voluntary program intended to support the university’s COVID-19 risk mitigation strategy and report instances that do not follow its guidelines. A CPSA is to serve as a resource of information, monitor responsible areas to identify needs and submit requests for assistance or supplies. In addition to the existing roles and responsibilities of a PSO within their respective department or unit, a CPSA will support the campus community in common areas and classrooms, perform health and cleaning spot-checks and assist the campus community implement physical distancing.
