Join CoopLew and Diverse: Issues In Higher Education for Part II of a national conversation about three big diversity-related questions in higher education resulting in the onset of COVID-19. The COVID-19 Pandemic has drastically and perhaps permanently changed the way higher education delivers instruction. This change will impact faculty, students, staff, and administrators. In this live conversation, higher education experts will provide answers to questions that affect issues like access, accessibility, and possibilities for the future. Our first conversation was so successful that we added a second session.
