Lisa Schnell, an English professor at the University of Vermont, says she senses her students’ mental health has deteriorated over the past 12 months, whether taking courses in-person or online.
“The human condition has become a lot more complicated in the pandemic. I think we sometimes call it a mental health crisis, but it s a human condition crisis,” said Schnell, who has taught at the Burlington campus for the past three decades.
