In 2017, Western Governors University implemented an ambitious student support initiative called the Environmental Barriers (EVB) Program. The purpose of the EVB Program is to lessen the negative impact of natural disasters and other emergent events on the university’s 100,000+ online students.

The EVB Program faced an unprecedented challenge in early 2020 with the arrival of novel coronavirus in the United States. WGU students in all 50 states were impacted in diverse ways, from employment and housing insecurity to difficult family and homeschooling situations. This was the EVB Team’s largest-scale event to date, and they quickly developed a COVID-19 task force to provide university-wide support for the nearly 90,000 students impacted by the pandemic.

Because online communities are quickly becoming a necessary and expanding aspect of higher education, WGU will present a two-part webinar series on how to reach out and virtually support students whose education and livelihood are threatened by unexpected challenges.
