Webinar: The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Graduate Students and Graduate Programs
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 2:30 pm - 3:45 pm U.S. Eastern Time
Graduate students and graduate programs are facing many challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Research projects have been upended, travel curtailed, funding cancelled, student recruiting disrupted, and teaching, advising and mentoring suddenly shifted online. In a socially distanced world, even sustaining a sense of community can prove difficult.
To give voice to a range of concerns and possible solutions, the panel includes grad students and faculty from a range of major programs around the U.S. including Reece Knapic (U Kansas), James McCarthy (Clark U), Darla Munroe (Ohio State U), Elisa Sperandio (U Arizona), and Tom Perreault (Syracuse U). It was held and recorded on February 24, 2021.
