Acknowledging the global COVID-19 pandemic has added significant stress to caregivers, the Provost’s Office developed two coordinated task forces: the Caregivers Support task force and the Faculty Review Practices Incorporating Crisis Impact task force.
A Caregivers Support Survey was conducted which served to gather student, staff and faculty experiences and information. The survey was open through November 9 and received more than 1,000 responses. Survey findings are being reviewed by these task forces and will be used to incorporate the impact of crisis and the pandemic on the Clemson University community.
