    We develop an agent-based model on a network meant to capture features unique to COVID-19 spread through a small residential college. We find that a safe reopening requires strong policy from administrators combined with cautious behavior from students. Strong policy includes weekly screening tests with quick turnaround and halving the campus population. Cautious behavior from students means wearing facemasks, socializing less, and showing up for COVID-19 testing. We also find that comprehensive testing and facemasks are the most effective single interventions, building closures can lead to infection spikes in other areas depending on student behavior, and faster return of test results significantly reduces total infections.

    Abstract Preferential attachment (PA) models are a common class of graph models which have been used to explain why power-law distributions appear in the degree sequences of real network data. Among other properties of real-world networks, they commonly have non-trivial clustering coefficients due to an abundance of triangles as well as power laws in the eigenvalue spectra. Although there are triangle PA models and eigenvalue power laws in specific PA constructions, there are no results that existing constructions have both. In this article, we present a specific Triangle Generalized Preferential Attachment Model that, by construction, has non-trivial clustering. We further prove that this model has a power law in both the degree distribution and eigenvalue spectra.
