Over the past few weeks we’ve all
developed a new normal. Through these
changes, it has likely sparked ideas,
concerns, and insight. To help you get
through everything new thrown your way
we’ve compiled a number of resources for
you. Here you can find information on
taking care of your mental health,
common ways schools are making
accommodations during Covid-19, how you
can connect with other international
students online, the latest on state tax
return extensions, and ways to keep
searching for a great university. Just
as each of you are staying committed to
your education, we are also staying
committed to helping you continue on
your path.
