The coronavirus pandemic has had a powerfully negative effect on our communities, making it a difficult time for many. Times of crisis, however, can provide a unique opportunity to make net positive changes. On Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020, Adelphi University will host a free virtual, micro class on Reframing Crisis as an Opportunity from 1 to 1:30 p.m.
The class will be led by Matthew Wright, chair of the physics department at Adelphi. Wright will provide his perspective as a faculty member teaching in higher education, leading a National Science Foundation-funded research team and advocating for his students and their careers.
The class will be offered via Zoom.
