The coronavirus pandemic has greatly affected a wide range of industries across the USA, but colleges and universities may be some of the hardest hit. Traditionally, students pay tuition fees not only for their education and the hands-on classroom settings, but also for the on-campus experience of socialization found at college sporting events, rallies, parties, fraternities and sororities, and more. The demand for social distancing has forced many educational institutions to radically switch all of their programs to online classes and close campuses. Fall re-openings and enrollment numbers are still issues that will need to be overcome. Maintaining the draw for on-campus learning institutions over less costly online universities will be a challenge, but new technologies, learning delivery methods, and fresh policies can help them tackle this pandemic.
