Preparing For The 2020-2021 Academic Year

Kenneth C. Zirkel
Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut

As the school year winds down for students, universities and colleges across the state are starting to make a plan for the fall semester. This hour, we’re talking to college faculty and students about what their online learning experience has been like so far, and what their hopes are for the next academic year. How are universities preparing for an outbreak on campus? College isn’t just academics; what will collegiate sports and student organizations look like in the 20-21 academic year? 

We want to hear from you. Are you a student or a faculty member at a Connecticut college or university ? How will your school hold classes during the next academic year?

  • Alexus McLeod - Associate Professor of Philosophy and Asian/Asian-American Studies at University of Connecticut. (@alexusmcleod)
