Good morning, and Vanderbilt hired Tobias Funke to make the acronyms:
So VU's new contract tracing committee on campus is called Public Health Unified Command Center (PHUCC).

Ahhhhhhh...
Optional Musical Accompaniment
Yes, that’s correct: Vanderbilt went with an acronym that should have been run by Anchor of Gold first.
Students who test positive for COVID-19 must self-isolate as directed by the Student Health Center until they are recovered. To determine the risk of potential exposure to others on campus, the Vanderbilt Public Health Unified Command Center (PHUCC), a partnership between the School of Nursing Nurse Faculty Practice Division and Student Health, will conduct contact tracing with any student who has tested positive and will provide appropriate notifications across VU communities.
Ah, yes, PHUCC involves a partnership. We can only assume these are the same people who will be putting out athletics communications.
A spokesperson for Vanderbilt athletics indicated in a statement to The Hustler on July 8 that the department was not being eliminated. Rather, the move was made in an effort to integrate athletics communications with university communications, the statement said.
So, athletics communications will be integrated with the people who came up with the acronym PHUCC. Excellent.
Okay, on to some real news: Trevon Thomas, the basketball player who committed last week, signed his Letter of Intent on Monday.
Welcome to West End, @iamtreythomas.
