Time Out! Let's Talk Policy

This week, FPYC examined how COVID is affecting colleges and college students around the United States!  We gathered quotes from different college students regarding how they were feeling, and played a game called “Guess the College” where contestants were given a situation involving Covid and had to match it to the university it happened at. Then, we discussed the question “What are some unexpected benefits of online learning for college students amidst the coronavirus pandemic?” Finally, two FPYC members read Op-Eds about how they think their universities are handling the pandemic.
