Their Words: Finding Value in College During COVID

Description:

COVID-19 is disrupting much more than traditional lecture halls: 1 in 4 students may delay graduation, a similar number had jobs or internships cancelled, 2 in 3 feel their opportunities for career exploration are worse, and more than half feel faculty are less available for advice. Come hear firsthand accounts from two inspiring students about how they are moving forward and join us for a community discussion around what a learner-centric education system looks like today.
