In the face of COVID-19, the world is coming together to support one another—and higher education is no exception. EduNav has been encouraged to see our colleagues and friends reaching across the aisle, collaborating, and sharing to ease the burden we all feel. It is in that spirit that we’ve curated this extensive list of free digital COVID-19 resources developed for higher education. This list includes links to other organizations’ webinars, guides, articles, and newsfeeds.
