BY ASAHP PRESIDENT PHYLLIS KING
We are living in an unprecedented reality that is likely to have a transformational effect on aspects of our lives, especially higher education. No doubt everyone has had to demonstrate adaptability and creativity to address changes under challenging conditions. The pandemic has altered our routine lifestyles to one of disruption, social distancing and isolation. Use of technology has provided us with a means of continuity in operations and communications. This is a time to model resilience, persistence, strategic thinking, leadership and teamwork, as we all work together to recover.
