Care Counts in Crisis: College Admissions Deans Respond to COVID-19

Elizabethtown College is among the first colleges in the nation to sign a new collective statement that seeks to send clear messages about what college admissions deans value in students during the pandemic. The Statement, recently released by Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has been endorsed by 350 colleges and universities. The Statement aims to relieve stress on students and their caregivers and prioritizes self-care and care for others during this time.
