According to Carol Dell’Oliver, director of the Health and Counseling Center, COVID-19 has made school more stressful for many students.  “It has significantly impacted mental health, and there’s more worries and anxieties around COVID related concerns,” Dell’Oliver said. “There’s also more of a sense of isolation when they’re not around their friends as much, which is an important protective factor in their mental health. There is also more unpredictability and things that are out of their personal control.”
