Featuring student leaders from the Centers for Educational Equity & Excellence (CE3)
The pandemic presents a disparate impact on significant numbers of our CE3 students who depend on our university for basic needs — food, housing, financial aid, etc. How are low-income and historically underrepresented students navigating their lives now that campus is virtual? Please join us for this very special opportunity to hear directly from our CE3 student leaders. Through the medium of personal stories, we hope you will gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of CE3 students, as well as the complicated impact of COVID-19 on students' day-to-day life.
