‘Do No Harm’: The Coronavirus Crisis Calls for Compassion, Say Faculty Members Sharing Advice

By  Julia Schmalz
March 27, 2020

Scattered from their campuses, self-isolating faculty members are connecting and instructing from their kitchens and living rooms. We caught up with 10 of them to ask, “What’s the best piece of advice or perspective you’ve gotten?” The Chronicle recorded video interviews with professors and administrators to hear what advice has resonated the most.

The interviewees are, in order of appearance:

  • Thom D. Chesney, president, Clarke University (Iowa)

  • Debbie Davis, assistant professor of practice, public relations, Texas Tech University
