At the end of every workday, Debra Schwinn gets on a Zoom call. As the new president of Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida, she is talking to her students. Many of them are alone in quarantine because of the coronavirus. Zoom is an internet-based video conferencing service. Schwinn is also a medical doctor. She worries about how coronavirus restrictions might be affecting the students at the small Christian school she leads. As few as one and as many as 15 students have taken part in the series of 20-minute calls. Schwinn checks on their mental and physical health during the meetings. She tries to lift their spirits. And she asks them if the university is meeting their needs. The Zoom calls have Schwinn the chance to meet students and build rare relationships as a college president. “It was the one unique thing I could do,” she said.
