We know that for many of us in higher education, times are hard. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, higher education lost half a million jobs in October alone. We know that those half a million jobs represent half a million people.
In September the KC partnered with the EISJ Division to sponsor a webinar entitled "Untenured: Tools for Student Affairs Professionals in Crisis" to support those of you who have been laid off, furloughed, or want to be an advocate for students and staff on your campuses while still protecting your job. The link to the recording is in the comments.

NASPA Statement About Racial Violence
"Over the last three months, we have seen both the best and worst of humanity. Campuses and communities have demonstrated extraordinary care for one another. However, the pandemic brought xenophobia to the forefront of our society, and we continue to see racism and acts of violence directed at people of color. These blatant forms of racism, implicit bias, and racialized violence have a taxing effect on our staff of color and minoritized students. Bearing witness to these public events has a significant effect on how safe our colleagues and students feel in their own communities, and they reinforce the vital need for student affairs educators to understand and acknowledge the effects of privilege and oppression."
