The COVID-19 pandemic has radically altered how we consider and provide both education and applied psychology. To keep a record of what these changes are like from the front lines, the Gevirtz School has asked several of its faculty, staff, and students to provide us with public journal entries to share on our website and through social media.
The entries, most recent to least recent, are collected on this page.
Or see the Bio/Post page, which provides bios for each journal-keeper and a list of their posts.
