Abstract
This study presents results from a SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance study at a university campus in which ~2,000 samples were sequenced over five months. The authors document the replacement of Delta with Omicron as the dominant variant, and describe clinical characteristics and transmission dynamics.
