Contact tracing is seen as essential to protecting students, faculty and staff from COVID-19 outbreaks as colleges and universities remain vigilant in keeping their campuses open.

Stephen Savas, vice president for Splunk’s government and education business in the western United States, says higher education leaders can use data to their advantage for contact tracing using technologies they likely have in place on campus.

He shares ways to harness data to support for contact tracing efforts on campus in a new podcast. Sponsored by Splunk.
