The pandemic and economic upheaval are redefining what it means to be an open-access institution. And the consequences for millions of students could be enormous. Join The Chronicle and a panel of leading community-college educators for an interactive, live-streaming virtual forum that delves into the issues of access, student success, and equity in the Covid-19 era.
Goldie Blumenstyk, Chronicle senior writer, will moderate a panel featuring:
- Loretta Adrian, president of Coastline Community College
- Anthony E. Munroe, president of Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York
- DeRionne Pollard, president of Montgomery College
Along with an audience question and answer session, the discussion will explore:
- What does it take to maintain open access to education now?
- How do leaders interpret recent declines in enrollment?
- How are colleges adapting programs to the new reality?
- What steps can college leaders take to meet students’ academic, technological, and basic needs?
