EdSurge · ‘A Condemnation’: Under Mental Health Strains, Students Weigh Quitting College By Daniel Mollenkamp

Is anyone out there an academic advisor who would be willing to engage with a 5 min survey about a new bit of software to help as a tool to gather/present idiographic information about students as a pre-meeting tool?

If yes, please DM me! Thank you!
(boosts welcome!)
