Description
As the pandemic isolated us in many ways, it also presented opportunities for more inclusive engagement through virtual learning. As the world flipped the script from in-person to virtual learning, MSU and Harbor Springs Public Schools explored ways to support one another. A partnership was formed to connect K-12 students to virtual college student tutors to help alleviate academic pressure while maintaining a safe environment. During this session we will take you through the process of this partnership and how it can affect our world moving forward for positive change.
