About
Join us on Thursday, May 21 at 2:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT for a 1-hour virtual discussion on the future of higher education with Danielle Strachman, General Partner of 1517 Fund and Anthony Hennen, Managing Editor for The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal. This event will be moderated by Marshall Kosloff, Lincoln Network's Director of Media and Outreach.
With college campuses across the country shuttered during the COVID-19 pandemic and the prospect of Zoom-only class in the fall, has the time finally come for a reimagination of higher education? Will students and parents continue to pay sky-high tuition for a credential, or will online alternatives such as Lambda School break out into the general population? How can cash-strapped state governments drive reform at brick-and-mortar legacy institutions?
