In the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Student Affairs and Engagement rapidly transitioned to the online delivery of our portfolio of student programs in order to continue to engage and connect students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This talk will discuss how we adapted our programs to online delivery, including successes, challenges and lessons learnt that can continue to be applied in a post-pandemic world. We will share data from five key initiatives that were adapted in collaboration with students: The Toolkit for Success, Student Partnership Program, International Student Program, #FASSfromhome communications campaign and the Teaching and Learning Online Student survey.
