Back at the inception of the Mind Tap series, which was around a year ago, the Mind Tap team sat around a table and discussed important stressors to people’s mental health. The list of stressors we came up with that day is now wildly outdated, thanks in a large degree to Covid-19 and the public health emergency that has swept the United States and the world. Students are a group greatly impacted by Covid-19 because they are away from home, away from their normal support networks and are increasingly socially isolated due a transition to online tuition.

This week on Mind Tap, Scott Greeves talk to ISU freshman, Emma Watts, about being a student during the Covid-19 pandemic and the Mind Matters book that she helped to publish.
