Online classes are still available — in small numbers — at University Park, and World Campus offers solely virtual courses. But, the resources and opportunities available at University Park should extend beyond its campus. Virtual learning opportunities would help decrease some inequalities among the commonwealth. Moreover, virtual resources went further than learning amid the pandemic — Penn State’s Counseling and Psychological Services offered virtual mental health resources. Making mental health services more accessible — through an online format — also continues to benefit the community’s wellbeing. Online education and other resources aren’t perfect, but they’ve primarily worked. And, continuing these remote options will only allow improvement. Improvement will lead to more innovation. Improvement will lead to more accessibility.
