Special: Building a bridge over troubled waters, with Spelman College president Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell
Listen now
Description
How to keep a university's doors open and make safe choices? This is the question for Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell, president of Spelman College. Earlier this month Dr. Campbell announced Spelman's plan for the upcoming academic year – with decidedly fewer students on campus (and substantially fewer fees collected). Meanwhile, as the head of a leading historically Black college, based in the protest hotbed of Atlanta, she's also been grappling with social unrest and calls for change. Spelman is taking this moment to experiment with how best to virtually support students, reorganize curriculum, and continue to push for equity in higher education investment.
