As this is an anxious time for many people, I’m interested in learning which colleges and universities (anywhere in the world) are doing the best at planning and communicating about how the institution intends to manage C-19 on campus.

I’ll kick this off by nominating Elon University. I happened across a Facebook video from Elon’s new president, Connie Book, and came away impressed by her calm reassurance, focus on community, and commonsense measures. The school also has a dedicated microsite set up about Elon and Coronavirus. This is in stark contrast to other institutions that are simply releasing emails.
