State of the Campus | Coping With COVID-19

Chancellor Philip DiStefano, Professor and Renée Crown Wellness Institute Director Sona Dimidjian, and Chief Student Affairs Officer Akirah Bradley discuss the mental health challenges we are all facing during the COVID-19 pandemic, how we are addressing them as a university and how we can care for our personal wellness during these times.

This year, like no other, we are demonstrating our strategic imperatives to lead, innovate and impact in a time of crisis. CU Boulder is innovating, developing and implementing COVID-19 rapid tests, wastewater monitoring and air filtration. Our own epidemiologists helped us create safe learning spaces, which have not seen a positive COVID-19 case from academic classrooms.

Find more information on this and other panels featuring campus leadership in this week's video series.
