Tumultuous Times on Campus
Helping Students Navigate the 2020 Election
The 2020 election is taking place amid growing polarization in the US, divisive rhetoric, nationwide protests for racial justice, and a deadly global pandemic. These factors, among others, can make discussions about the election difficult and fraught. In this webinar we discuss how the trauma of these events may be shaping our students’ experiences of the election. We also offer up some strategies and suggestions for managing the stress of the elections inside the classroom and across campus.
