Bio & Contributions – K. Delay

• My GC program is the MALS, Urban Education track.
• My career began in Student Academic Services in the higher ed. setting, specifically working to organize and provide accommodations for deaf and hard-of-hearing students in the college classroom. I come from a family of teachers and am surrounded by friends who are also educators in a variety of professional positions and geographic locations. I have spent the last 8 years workin in admissions and financial aid at a co-ed Nursery-Grade 12 independent school in New York City; the school is also part of a global network of schools who host one another’s students for international exchanges and formally collaborate at an institutional level throughout the year. As a result of this personal and professional positioning, I have access to a network of dedicated school professionals who are willing to contribute to the our COVID Student Archive.
• My role in this project involves helping to continue shaping the vision and outcomes. My network of schools, school professionals, and ultimately student will also serve us in the outreach phase, as we secure the audience and user base.
• My research interests include issues pertaining to student access and equity and affective curriculum. This project connects to each of these in direct and indirect ways.
