In the business world, there is a big debate about what will change. Hear from our speakers their take on what the new normal will require as well as the ways in which they hope some of our current reality is not changed once we can get back to work.

Post-COVID College: What Will Be Novel?
12 pm – 1 pm
This workshop will explore upcoming changes in the physical college classroom, the contrast between emergency virtual course delivery and intentionally designed online learning, and how many colleges are designing and personalizing course experiences while making learning more engaging and rigorous. The university of today likely is not your father’s—or your—college experience.
