On May 17, 2023 3:00 PM EST, The Virtual Care Group will host a webinar to showcase the many benefits of partnering with a higher-ed focused telehealth provider to meet the ever increasing demand of students.

Almost 50 percent of 2022 entering college students report being “emotionally/mentally” exhausted (BCSSE, 2022) as they were beginning college. With the increase in student need running head first into exhausted front-line caregiver staff, sustainable solutions are complicated.

We would encourage you to register today as space is limited! As a partner with the LGBTQ Leaders in Higher Education, VCG looks forward to discussing:

  • Available solutions 
  • Case study successes
  • Our barrier free approach ensuring access and equity
  • Consortium discount pricing

Members-only Discussion Lounge

One of the newest features of our website is a members-only discussion board via Discord.

What’s a “discord”? According to the Discord website, their “servers are organized into topic-based channels where you can collaborate, share, and just talk about your day without clogging up a group chat.” Our Discord server is a members-only lounge for discussion of issues, posting questions or event notices, and general shenanigans. 

For example, if you’re the only out lesbian provost in your state, you might want to chat with other lgbtq provosts around the country. Or if you’re in a border town and want to collaborate with others in your area about the rise of anti-queer curriculum, you can look for queer peers on our server. Where else can you do that? The server is web-based, or you can download the Discord app.
