COVID-19 Information and Resources: 

The Advising Community on Graduate & Professional Students has compiled information and resources for our community members and friends as you explore new approaches in providing your students with guidance and support during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Given that the roles and responsibilities of our community members and friends vary significantly in addition to the fact that some of you advise both graduate and undergraduate students, we have also included resources that would be helpful in advising undergraduate students as well.  Admittedly, there is a lot of information and resources to assist you in navigating this difficult and unprecedented time.  You will also notice that there is some overlap of information and resources provided through the various platforms.  Do not feel as though you have to review and master all content included.
