As a student, you are facing challenges that, at the very least, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">complicate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your engagement in the classroom: the threat of COVID-19 to you and your loved ones, sudden homelessness or unemployment, returning to unsupportive or abusive families, dealing with lack of access to internet, technology, resources, and space. You are trying to learn while your sense of safety and wellness may be in shambles. You may also be grieving right now: for the loss of loved ones, a global loss of hundreds of thousands of people, loss of your daily life as you once knew it, loss of the \u201cnormal\u201d college experience you worked hard for. Against the backdrop of the killings of George Floyd and Brionna Taylor and the explosion of Black Lives Matter protests, you may feel vulnerable, afraid, angry, or helpless. The challenges of COVID are hitting Black and Brown communities hardest, and the overlaps between this country&#8217;s racism and the reality of the pandemic may be overwhelming for you or for people you care for.<br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We created this guide with the understanding that, above all else, students need compassion, support, and patience right now.
