Spring semester planning engagement sessions scheduled

In an effort to provide the best educational and, in Winona, residential experience for students this spring semester, a task force has been commissioned to review what we learned throughout the fall semester and to recommend actions to improve operations and the student experience in 2021. The work of the task force is centered on optimizing instruction and learning in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A series of virtual engagement sessions via Zoom for students, faculty, and staff will be held in the coming days to gather input.
