Kevin Walden works in the Office of Undergraduate Research (UGR), working with students to help them explore undergraduate research and their future careers. A first-generation student from West Virginia, Kevin appreciates how important mentorship can be for students. “I think of myself and how I first came to the University, and I didn’t really know what I was doing. I just really loved having these advisors take an interest in me and they took it upon themselves to see that I would succeed,” Kevin said. “And I feel that is the role that our office plays for students.”

In the course “Love in a Time of Affliction,” students will investigate, with the help of readings and media from various sources, how human relations (romantic, familial, friendship and social) are affected by, and how they can survive, during times of severe trial such as pandemics, oppressive political regimes, war etc. Through a discussion enriched by our own personal experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic, the aim of the course is to get to a deeper understanding of the nature of human relationships, and to strengthening our ability to cope with and respond to such times of trial.
