Student Work

New college students experience isolation and feelings of anxiety. Universities offer new student orientation and other activities and services to mitigate these concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced universities to minimize programming due to social distancing guidelines, leaving first-year students isolated and unable to form meaningful relationships. We interviewed faculty, staff, and students at WPI and other universities to determine the most effective preventive and on-going methods for maintaining the holistic health of students while upholding COVID-19 safety precautions.
