This is officially our third back-to-school season since widespread vaccination brought about the beginning of the end of the crisis phase of pandemic.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, in September 2021, we returned hopeful but wary, eager to get back to our regular lives but watching a Delta drive renewed precautions. Last year, we came to campus resilient but exhausted, ready to move forward but worn down by two and a half years of disruption and dislocation.<\/p>\n

This year, I\u2019m happy to report, it really feels like we\u2019ve turned a corner. As I see students on campus and run into faculty in hallways, as I chat with colleagues between meetings and hear from students in the class I teach each fall, I\u2019m getting a different feeling than I have in some time. It\u2019s a sense of cautious optimism. A sense that things are different. A sense that we\u2019re all ready to put all the challenges and difficulties behind us, shake off the malaise of the past few years, and dive into something new.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great feeling.<\/p>\n

I also know it\u2019s not been an easy one to achieve, especially for our young people.<\/p>\n

For all of us, but especially for them, it has been a rough three and a half years. The time spent in remote classes caused real learning loss and serious socialization issues. Students are arriving at college less prepared than in the past, and less mentally equipped for the challenges of higher education. Across the country, colleges and universities have been struggling to provide the mental health services students need, and they\u2019re working hard to offer the academic supports that will keep students engaged in their studies and on track for graduation.<\/p>\n

<\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n

So if we\u2019re turning that corner\u2014and I do think we are, based on the conversations I\u2019m having with students\u2014it\u2019s because we\u2019ve all worked so hard to make that happen. And our success doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s time to relax those efforts; rather, it means it\u2019s time to redouble them.<\/p>\n

To ensure that the generation of students who\u2019ve borne the brunt of the last three years can stay engaged with their studies and thrive into the future, we need to acknowledge all they\u2019ve been through and continue working to give them the help they need to get ahead.<\/p>\n

That means we need to continue outreach efforts to the students who may have given up on education, whether because they decided against starting college or because they took time off after a pandemic-era semester or two that didn\u2019t go as they\u2019d hoped.<\/p>\n

It means we need to meet the students who do enroll where they are, understanding the toll the pandemic years took and providing them with the coursework they need to catch up.<\/p>\n

It means we need to recognize the mental health challenges facing everyone on our campuses today\u2014students, faculty, and staff\u2014and provide them the wellbeing resources they need to be able to do their best work.<\/p>\n

I genuinely believe this is one of the great challenges of our time: As parents, educators, and event business leaders and public officials, we can either make the investment necessary to support our students, or we can risk losing a generation of young people. And if we don\u2019t make that investment, it\u2019s hard to see how our country will be able to confront the challenges ahead of us and remain globally competitive through this new century.<\/p>\n

The good news is that our students are ready to move forward. They\u2019re ready to put the past behind them and embrace an optimistic future. It\u2019s up to us give them the tools they need to accomplish their goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
