Abstract
Being prepared for a crisis is important for any leader. Although time passes, the fundamentals of strong leadership often remain routed in specific principles. This research sets out to illustrate how modern university leadership, specifically at the University of New Hampshire, navigated the COVID-19 pandemic using similar strategies to that of Winston Churchill during World War II. Four tenets are themes throughout the research which are: communication, collaboration, partnership and the advancement of technology. Leaders can often look to the past to prepare for crises in the future.
