Caring for the Entire Campus Community in a Crisis
Promoting the mental health and well-being of everyone on campus –students as well as faculty and staff – was a key priority for college leaders even before a global pandemic turned people’s lives upside down. The abrupt dislocation of the campus community has only exacerbated rising levels of distress among students, who report more anxiety and depression than ever before, and among employees, for whom the transition has brought new responsibilities and worries.
Sarah Brown, a Chronicle senior reporter, and a panel of experts examine what it takes to help the campus community adapt and thrive during these uncertain times.
