In my 14th episode, I spoke with Melissa Shivers, PhD, Senior Vice President for Student Life at The Ohio State University. Dr. Shivers is a leader in student affairs with experience at several public universities and has in the past led initiatives designed to focus on student health, safety, and well-being. We talked about how COVID-19 has impacted the overall student experience, takeaways from the changes made in response to the pandemic, her path to a career in student life, trends moving forward in higher education, and how Ohio State is leading the way in adapting to the pandemic to provide a unique experience to all students, faculty, and staff.
