The "new normal" in higher education can mean different things on varied campuses. The new normal, which occurred because of the COVID-19 pandemic, is the current atmosphere across the higher education landscape. As institutions prepare for the 2021-22 academic year, higher education has entered its new normal. While these changes may be unsettling for many in the professorate, it gives administrators and educators a chance to change campus policy for the betterment of students. Quality technology has been embraced, not only in the classroom, but also in the integration of student support services. Distance learning promising practices have been supported as a method to help all instructors, both full-time and adjunct, adjust to the post-pandemic campus climate. The lessons from the pandemic have allowed institutions to offer students the best possible educational experience. Higher education has changed in many ways due to COVID-19 and those changes continue daily. Educators should use this push as a positive motivation for transformational campus and curricular change.
