Abstract

In response to the developing concerns from students and faculty, Whittier College began sending out The Poet Update via email as a main source for campus news and information regarding Covid-19. These emails would provide a general update on the college’s approaches to online learning before going into specific changes or answering questions. Sent between March 13th to April 28th, the following emails reveal the plan of action for students and faculty for moving forward, as well as some of the changing conditions regarding student grades, waivers, fees, and matters specifically dealing with the success of students and faculty. Students and Faculty were informed of any information on opportunities for students to engage and stay connected with Whittier College’s essential resources, such as online tutoring, counseling, and academic mentoring.
