The University I wish I could have gone to at 18. Amazing place for the next gen of global leaders.

@blacktimelord @WGULabs Congratulations Kelvin!

Improving interdisciplinary education is one of the keys to closing the skills gap. This is a short piece on how we've been doing that @minervaproject and @MinervaSchools. #skillsgap #HigherEducation #interdisciplinary

@nickducoff @jselingo I'd add: if undecided, take a gap year and engage in some kind of program or project that will help you figure out what you are looking for from your future, e.g., https://t.co/1P98dhx1rO

Thanks to the coronavirus, college this fall probably won't be the experience you hoped for. But it will still cost just as much. Why not take a "gap year" and learn to program instead?

@MinervaSchools was featured in an article in @insidehighered discussing the relevance of our unique educational model for Fall 2020 scenarios. Please reach out if you're interested in discussing what we've learned over the past six years. https://t.co/3x4KdPkXyp

"What makes a difference [in the effectiveness of either online or in-person teaching] is the design – specifically the application of an intentional instructional design process and the implementation of effective instructional methods or strategies."

Critically important points by @PhilOnEdTech and Stephanie Moore on the false dichotomy between in person and online courses: https://t.co/ALhuQ7yH5n

[Michael Sorrell @michaelsorrell]

No one wants to say the simple truth: College campuses are the perfect breeding ground for COVID-19.
Therefore, America, we cannot bring your sons and daughters back to our campuses until we can keep them safe. Safe=a vaccine and wide-spread testing. 1/

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Social distancing bends the curve and relieves some pressure on our heroic medical professionals. But in order to shift off current policies, the key will be a robust system of testing and monitoring – something we have yet to put in place nationwide. https://t.co/evkTSrzReB

[Marc Lipsitch @mlipsitch]

Tonight #DeborahBirx stated that models anticipating large-scale transmission of COVID-19 do not match reality on the ground. Our modeling (done by @StephenKissler based on work with @ctedijanto and @yhgrad and me) is one of the models she is talking about.

For students and parents freaked out about #choosingcollege amidst these turbulent times, remember colleges are also nervous. You have more of the power in this relationship than you might think but let's all remember the humans on both sides
