Amy Leach knows firsthand what COVID has demanded of Grand Canyon University’s nursing students, who were facing one of the most daunting challenges of their academic careers in the most stressful of times: conquering the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) during a global pandemic.
She has worked with students who took their practice exams remotely while their brother was in the next room on Zoom for his classes, their mom was at the dining room table working from home, and there was no way to find a quiet space at a coffee shop to take those exams, since so many businesses were closed during the pandemic.

Large influxes of asylum seekers and other migrants to Europe from Muslim-majority countries have inevitably led to a significant rise in the number of Muslims in Germany, who in 2016 made up nearly 6 percent of Germany’s population. Even with no future net migration, Muslims will likely represent 9 percent of the country’s population by 2050, the Pew Research Center estimates. The rapid scale of arrival of nearly 1 million asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan all Muslim-majority countries to Germany in recent years has significantly affected the sociopolitical landscape, partly leading to a growing populist and nationalist backlash with groups advancing anti-immigration agendas.
