Over the past few weeks, international educators have had to quickly adjust and shift to a different environment to support their students and scholars and manage expectations due to the impact of COVID-19. This Town Hall features a public health expert and an IIE researcher alongside seasoned international educators. The speakers reflect on public health trends that affect our work, current “triage” plans, and lessons learned. They also shared their thoughts on what’s next and helpful tips on managing future change. The Town Hall concluded with a panel discussion.
