Most colleges are requiring arriving students to stay alone in their dorm rooms for some period of time until they test negative for COVID-19.
Virus thrusts college presidents into hot seat
Traditionally, university presidents are behind-the-scene managers and fund-raising gurus, most often seen welcoming students in the fall and sending them off with their degrees during graduation ceremonies in the spring. But the pandemic has thrust them to the forefront and made them the public face of their institution’s decision on how to reopen for the fall.

Finland is known for its long, cold winters, its beautiful landscape and its extensive welfare system. Furthermore, low corruption, high-levels of trust and an exemplary education system has led to what many now refer to as the roots of Finnish contentment.
It will come as no surprise that Finland has once again topped the UN's 2020 World Happiness Report. At this point, the shock will arrive once it does not feature at the top of the list. The UN World Happiness Report is based on a variety of factors, including autonomy, equality, life expectancy and mental health.
