I. Health, Education, and Welfare

The present paper discusses the impact of Covid19 pandemic on the academic operations of the College of Business Administration, Kuwait University. It describes its new, emerging strategy and the specific policies designed to facilitate the transition to remote teaching. Central point of interest is the changing nature of faculty/student interactions, teaching and assessment modes, administrative functioning and the required skills and technological literacy that enables the changes. These are factors that pervade all aspects of individual behavior of faculty/students/staff. We start with the history of Covid19 pandemic in Kuwait (section 2). We present KU’s response in section 3 before we discuss CBA’s response in detail (section 4). Section 5 presents our evolving state-of-mind on the new challenges. We end with a summary and a look ahead (section 6).
