How have others helped you with this time of transition? Are you using anything you’ve learned from someone in our CMU community? What or how?
This post is part of our What’s Working Forum, a safe space for faculty to talk to one another about how we are still serving our students and the CMU community, and to share and celebrate what we are doing during this era of learning continuity. We invite you to participate in the discussion in the comments below. Use your Name/CMU Email or keep it anonymous, it is totally up to you.

Hello CMU Team! I transitioned all the assignments for students to online and they could access the materials within each week at a time that worked best for them. Last night we had our first optional Zoom check in. Almost everyone joined as we had a lively discussion – not about class topics, but about how everyone was doing – how they were processing that their graduation will be later, job hunting, etc. I was hesitant about having it at first, however they enjoyed it and didn’t want to hang up. They asked if we could meet every week so they could feel that sense of connection. I look forward to seeing them again next week!
