Join our Bridge Lunch Break discussion about COVID’s impact on higher ed
Bridge Michigan invites readers to join us Thursday, April 29 for our latest Bridge Lunch Break discussion. This time, we’ll be looking at the impact of COVID-19 on higher education in fall 2021 and beyond.
We’ll be joined by Maddy Day, board chair of the Michigan College Access Network and Dr. Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, president of Oakland University. This hour-long discussion will be moderated by Bridge senior writer Ron French from noon to 1 p.m.
Grab your lunch and pull up a chair in front of your computer as we discuss and answer your questions! You’ll have an opportunity to pre-submit your questions on our Lunch Break registration form. We’ll be talking about the impact of COVID on post secondary education of all types, including certificate programs, two-year degree programs, four-year degree programs, as well as the impact on private and public institutions. Questions about any of these topics are welcome!
