FAYETTEVILLE, Ark — The outbreak of COVID-19 across the country has changed everyday life for all Americans over the last few weeks, including those in our Northwest Arkansas community.
The adjustment to a “new normal” is never easy, but the University of Arkansas is determined to help make that adjustment a little easier.
The U of A is launching a new “Determined to Help” website this week to help give its community a place not only to discover helpful resources during this unprecedented time but also to provide stories of inspiration and hope.
In the last week, members of the U of A faculty, staff and students have gone above and beyond to help their fellow community members. From nursing students providing a helping hand at local hospitals to some of our engineering professors using their skills to help predict and plan how to fight this virus in the coming days, the U of A community is stepping up.
Those stories and more will continue to be shared on the “Determined to Help” site in the coming days as well as on social media.
