ABSTRACT: Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) caused many universities and other educational institutions to rapidly change their methods of education. This paper shares insights related to the educational experiences and emotional well-being from social work faculty and students from two public universities, located within two different states (Kentucky and Maryland). Findings from this mixed methods IRB approved research study suggest that that students and faculty need support, both tangible and intangible, from higher education institutions in order to be effective in the classroom.​
