An Example of Care

Listen as the Director of the Resilience Lab describes how she participated in efforts to care for staff and their mental health during the pandemic under the leadership of the Dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs. The Dean organized a “care team” which consisted of leaders who made calls to check in on staff and address concerns. Additionally, the Dean crafted thoughtful emails to offer words of encouragement and support throughout the pandemic.

We wanted to get an understanding of how folks were coping and where there might be some needs.
