-
A panel discussion featuring university leaders Ana Mari Cauce (University of Washington), Robert Jones (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Christina Paxson (Brown University), who will share insights from their own experiences throughout the pandemic and their vision for the future.

Small group conversations in breakout rooms where colleagues can connect about their own hopes and concerns for their campus communities.

The Çï¿ûÊÓƵ and the members of its Affiliates Program share a commitment to the vitality of higher education and the value of research.
