WHY THIS MATTERS:
A smart move by Berkeley College. The team has not only shipped laptops out to new students, but it's making student support services — including the such as academic advising, counseling, disability services — available virtually. These services are crucial for student engagement and success, and the consistency can contribute to overall wellness.
