Extended Abstract: 

This presentation focuses on the remote learning experiences of one university’s residential public health students (N=916) required to shift to remote learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed high levels of academic resilience (ARS-30 Scale: Cassidy, 2016) across this population of students after one year of remote learning. Further, results of regularly administred faculty and student surveys administered during this period, which indicated areas of specific success and challenge for students, will also be shared.
