Faces of the Frontline, both an Instagram account and a website, is a rapidly growing grassroots project that started at the end of March. The brainchild of Vibhu Krishna, a medical student at Columbia’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, the project provides digital platforms for sharing and disseminating stories from the COVID-19 frontline, as well as collecting words of affirmation to deliver to our healthcare heroes.
One of Krishna's collaborators on the project, fellow medical student Kendall Sarson, said, "I’ve always valued Columbia’s commitment to honoring students and physicians as whole humans, and I cherish the atmosphere that this attitude toward cultivating a humanistic culture is able to foster; it has never been more apparent to me than in this community’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic."
