COVID-19 has inevitably changed the operation and management within student affairs and education, especially those essential and student-facing units, such as residential life. In recognizing that many other residential life and housing staff have been handling and implementing policies catering to different cultural and structural needs, this webinar invites four representatives from four different regions around the world to share their expertise, insight, and best practices. In this presentation, they will highlight their campus profile and needs, share operation and policy modifications in response to COVID-19, and recommend tips on how to lead and manage residential life and housing operation for Fall 2020/Spring2021. This webinar will increase the leadership competency within its participants, informing and encouraging others to find better solutions and support to the challenges we face.
