Students on the Frontlines of Pandemic Struggle Balancing School and Work

She’s been in the job for two years, but these days there are constantly new policies to learn and an ever-present worry about being exposed to coronavirus. All of that makes it difficult for Milan, 21, to shift back into student mode come Monday and do her coursework from Colby-Sawyer College, where she studies nursing.
