“We’re very pleased to partner with the Prichard Committee to provide a forum for these vitally important conversations," said CPE President Dr. Aaron Thompson. "During these unprecedented times, our campuses continue to respond with innovative and timely solutions that address a wide range of needs to ensure both the health and safety of students and their success in an online learning environment.”
More topics and events will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
“In the immediate and the longer-term, to ensure a big, bold future for Kentucky – even in the midst of COVID-19, we are seeking innovative ways to maintain a focus on student success and support, as well as ways to deepen and expand family and community engagement during this unprecedented time,” said Ramsey. “These discussions are intended to result in more integrated discussions and solutions that will benefit us now and into the future.”
The Prichard Committee and panelists will be answering questions in real time during all Facebook Live events. We are also asking for questions in advance. Those can be emailed to: Jessica.fletcher@prichardcommittee.org, or submitted on Twitter to @prichardcom.
