We can learn a lot from the way colleges have been handling the COVID pandemic
As the pandemic is, once again, upending our world, higher education has remained resilient over these 20 difficult months. Universities pivoted quickly in March of 2020, going remote and then developing mitigation strategies to bring students back in person while trying to keep communities safe and ensuring continuity of learning.
We know that 2022 won’t be a repeat of 2020. For starters, we now know much more about COVID: How it spreads, that it surges in the cold months, and that it impacts the unvaccinated much more severely. We know about mask fatigue and vaccine hesitancy, but also about vaccines and boosters, the importance of tracking and testing, and new treatments on the horizon. In short, we have tools we could only dream of in 2020. And nowhere was this better demonstrated than on college campuses.
And they communicated constantly to the many different constituencies that make up a university, and adjusted that messaging in response to feedback.
