“This is an unprecedented moment in the history of community colleges and how we respond will lay the groundwork for the future,” President Hall said. “It is an honor to contribute to the national conversation about our pandemic response and the future of community colleges.”
The webinar was hosted by ATD President Dr. Karen A. Stout and designed for presidents, CEOs and chancellors of colleges that are active in the ATD Network. Southwest is an ATD Leader College.
