Has any thought or consideration been given to potential services for online students? You mentioned Athens and RHE, but not eCampus. If not, why not? Thanks!
Our OHIO Online students are certainly on my mind daily, and my team and I continue to partner with Vice Provost Kari Lehman and her team to expand the services currently offered to online students.
One area we are focused on is providing necessary mental health support. Our office of Counseling and Psychological Services offers various types of support for all students, including online students, and at the same time we recognize a need for additional counseling support. We recently contracted with a new partner to expand those services and hope to launch the partnership later this spring. As we move forward, we hope to be able to continue to expand our wellness resources for online students. We also support online students through our Dean of Students office, provide them with emergency micro-grants and more.
