High school seniors are starting to receive acceptance letters from colleges and universities for the fall term, but it’s hard to imagine what the fall will actually look like on campus. Some schools have already begun welcoming students back to in-person classes and on-campus housing, while others are still finalizing their plans for in-person learning in the fall.

We hear how schools and students are navigating the uncertain future from University of Portland Dean of Admissions Jason McDonald, Oregon State University Provost for Student Affairs Dan Larson and Kagan Young, a school counselor at David Douglas High School.
