PBS's "Rethinking College" Series Tackles COVID-19's Impact on Student Mental Health

"How the pandemic is impacting college students’ mental health" (January 19, 2021) is the latest installment in PBS News Hour's excellent and long-running series, Rethinking College, and probably one of their most compelling.  The series, written and narrated by Hari Sreenivasan, concludes next week with a story on ways that colleges increasingly provide short-term programs and skills-based credentials to help students land jobs. Across over 100 episodes, the series has covered nearly every imaginable issue related to higher education and is very much worth exploring for students in search of a good topic for the final project.
