POST-PANDEMIC QUESTIONS As universities see the benefits of larger lectures moving online – will they go back to the traditional lecture format after the pandemic? Can the costs of higher education actually be reduced by a hybrid model of teaching, and could it be a better model? How competitive can universities be with scholarships in the future? Are we going to see greater migration of students or less? It will certainly take a few years for us to reflect on these changes and their impact on students. The additional complexity of choosing college lists in a pandemic is not something any of us have been trained for but is something we are quickly learning to deal with. What is apparent is the time we need to give students, to help them navigate all of this, is growing. Counsellors and universities are communicating more than they ever have and the networks of counsellors and admissions teams is vital as students weigh their options in this era of uncertainty.
