In each situation, new tools and skills had to be rapidly adopted, and adapted, by faculty, students, and staff, in order to remain connected and continue learning in a variety of different majors.  Join to learn how to get through this, and then get better at it, as you help strengthen the skills our students need in a 21st century economy.
