Since COVID-19 forced North Carolina high schools to close in March, the 16 full-time members of the Duke College Advising Corps (Duke CAC) have, along with other Americans, faced the twin challenges of adapting to novel working conditions while also stepping up to meet urgent needs in their communities. Without access to their partner high schools, advisers had to design a whole new way to maintain their one-on-one work just as their students suddenly had to navigate a dramatically different environment in which to apply for college and financial aid. Almost two months later, advisers have met these challenges in a variety of ways with energy, intelligence and commitment.
