COVID-19 has created a cataclysmic shift in how universities operate in an effort to protect the physical well-being of students. Far less discussed, however, is the mental health impact on college-aged students. Colleges and universities have an urgent responsibility to use their research prowess and student support infrastructure to gather information about how best to serve our students, now and into the future, and to address the serious challenges young people face.
Publishing findings on all of our research in an open-source and accessible way will allow all of us to benefit from one another’s work. Through this contribution, you are sharing your work on treatment protocols and student support with a global audience.
To contribute your institution's work to this effort, please fill out this form. For any questions, contact scholarworks@boisestate.edu.
This forum is an open, accessible database intended to advance the professional and personal well-being of all students enrolled in higher education. The information, findings, and research published here are done so for the good of the broader community by many institutions and individuals committed to improving higher education.
