We designed this newsletter for you. We created this with the same values that inform everything we share: to be hopeful, concise, and full of valuable information that helps you serve students better. We hope it becomes a valuable resource that you depend on. The first step in the design process is empathy, so if you are willing, we would love to know what would be most valuable for you.
As we get started, here are a few questions we're wrestling with at the moment. I'm sharing them with the hope that this validates your thinking, or even better, that you have answers we can elevate.
- After everything our students have experienced, what changes to existing campus programs need to be made in order to best support 2021 academic recovery?
- What mental health supports/interventions work best virtually, and what kinds of support do our students need now?
- What would the most empathetic and supportive orientation/bridge process look like for students in 2021?
- We need a new facilitation process for 2021, one that helps campuses make informed decisions about what remains virtual and what should never be virtual going forward. What questions help a campus reflect and synthesize the learning of the past year?
We want to hear what you're thinking about.

“We have to remember that the universe is not going to be seeing somebody like you again, in its entire history of creation. So it’s up to you to become a dot, a paragraph, a page, blank page, chapter in the history of creation.” -Vartan Gregorian
