COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Updates and Resources

Beginning in 2020, WCET created a series of curated pages highlighting various resources for institutions to help them adequately respond to the COVID-19 crisis. Although we have retired these initial response pages, below is a list of resources that may be helpful to institutions as we continue to face challenges during the ongoing pandemic.

Please contact us if you have any questions or should you need any assistance retrieving previous resources.
