For now, it is clear that learning spaces in Fall 2020 and beyond will never be the same again. It

is imperative for administrators and faculty to embrace change through the lens of qualitative and

quantitative research-based solutions. The combination of three interconnected crises: 1) the

COVID-19 Health Crisis, 2) Economic Depression, and 3) Protest Against Racial Injustice

catalyzed by the killing of George Floyd pose new opportunities for colleges. By (re)tooling

faculty and administrators through story-listening, purpose, and pragmatism; colleges will be

more prepared for Fall 2020 and beyond.
