Event Overview
COVID19 has altered much about our world, and higher education. Classrooms and labs have largely been replaced with computer screens. Disparities in health and wellness, the digital divide, the resources available to students and educators alike are starkly in evidence. How do we teach in this COVID19 era? What do we teach? This virtual meeting will explore aspects of STEM education in the new world – online and hybrid delivery, student wellness and engagement, COVID as subject matter, and more. The day will begin with a student panel, sharing their experiences and hopes for their continuing education, and will also include a panel of higher education professionals sharing their thoughts about the student pipeline into higher ed and careers after degrees.
