Navigating the Pandemic: Knowledge, Resilience, Civic Purpose and Engagement
Free weekly seminars: Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. EST
Starting June 10 and available after through recordings
The pandemic is confusing and unpredictable. For some, it can be isolating, damaging, and even tragic. As a major research university, Tufts offers a wealth of resources to learn about the disease and its social impact and how to take care of ourselves, help others, and be civically engaged during the pandemic. During the summer of 2020, Tisch College is launching an 8-part, weekly webinar series aimed at supporting students and the entire Tufts community as we all navigate the COVID-19 crisis.
These free weekly seminars will be offered Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. EST starting June 10 and will be open to current and incoming Tufts students, 2020 Tufts graduates, and other members of the Tufts community. Students who attend at least six of the eight sessions will qualify for a certificate of completion.
