Karen Gross is an author, educator and advisor on diverse issues along the educational pipeline. Her current research focuses on student success and the impact of trauma on learning, psychosocial development and health. Sadly, the issues on which she focuses have taken center stage with the coronavirus pandemic and the literally thousands of colleges (and schools) closing their brick-and-mortar campuses for the semester--if not longer. In this Q&A, "NEJHE" Executive Editor John O. Harney asks Gross about her work with at-risk students in the new age of trauma and the impact of the pandemic of higher education and the reopening of campuses when that occurs.
