As the world continues to navigate through the challenges posed by COVID-19, educators have had to adapt their campuses and ways of teaching. RCC President Dr. Michael Anthony Baston has been selected to speak at two important panels about these changes and how they impact the future of education. “Community colleges are critical resources for local school systems, underserved student populations and local worker pipelines,” he says. “In these times of great uncertainty, we must find innovative ways to succeed in our mission of educating students in a meaningful and safe manner. Keeping an open dialogue is vital and I invite the community to join me for these upcoming panels.”
