Many students within the college lost their student worker positions when the university began delivering all courses online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnder the direction of a staff member, our student workers will be printing the shields in areas that will be appropriately cleaned and set up to facilitate social distancing,\u201d said Jourdan. \u201cWe are all proud to be able to contribute to the greater good during this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shields will be printed in the college\u2019s MakerPlace, where any Texas A&amp;M student, staff or faculty member can work on creative projects that require 3D printing, laser or vinyl cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The college is in conversations with other campus and regional organizations to coordinate a joint effort among those who have 3D printers that can print the specialty shields, and who may be able to provide source materials such as the .04 acrylic that is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, contact <a
