The Challenge
As many institutions across the country employed significant measures to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus in early 2020, leaders and staff alike had to quickly rethink the way they operated in their work environments.
Still, the mission of teaching and learning in higher education persevered during this time of prolonged uncertainty. Our institutions rose to the challenge by leveraging existing expertise and infrastructure while continuing to delivery high quality education to meet the new needs of students.
