Covid-19 has dramatically affected the global landscape of higher education. With online learning as the primary mode of delivery,  how can students, faculty, and higher education administrators adapt to this "new normal"? In the long-term, COVID-19 will undeniably pose unprecedented challenges to the entire higher education community.
