For many high school and college students, the COVID-19 pandemic caused what felt like a tectonic shift in their daily lives, their weekly schedules, and their academic goals. While all high school college going students and currently enrolled college students felt the effects of the global pandemic, no student population was impacted more than vulnerable students, who are, oftentimes, at the intersections of low-income, diverse abilities, non-traditional, and/or first-generation status.
