Episode 33: Where our students are at (*RAPID RESPONSE*)
Episode description
As all of higher education, basically, prepares to move its operations online, our students are struggling with life challenges, anxiety, and pressures. In this rapid-response episode, recorded hastily on the precipice of my own classes starting March 23, I talk to two students and a support center professional about things faculty should keep in mind as we make this seismic change.

NOTE: The audio quality of this podcast is lower than normal. Blame the fact that four people and two dogs have been cooped up together for a week, and we're all noisier than usual.
