The Northwestern Intersections team is kicking off our latest season with a four part Back to School mini-series, where we will speak with Wildcats at the intersection of education and the pandemic, discussing how they are approaching their work in our ever-changing, virtual world.

In the second episode of the mini-series, we sit down with Tim Dohrer ’95 MA.
