On April 16, CLA alumni and friends came together for a conversation with John Coleman, Dean of CLA, on how the College of Liberal Arts is facing the challenges presented by the COVID-19 crisis. The work we do in the liberal arts is enduring and gives us powerful tools to understand not just the current, immediate impacts of COVID-19, but also the long-term economic, pedagogical, and societal impacts that are yet to come for us as a college, and as a community as a whole.

Panelists included:

John Coleman, Dean of College of Liberal Arts
Brent Gustafson, Chief Financial Officer
Jamey Hansen, Chief Information Officer
Ascan Koerner, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education
Natasha Sohni, President, CLA Student Board
Moderator: Megan Mehl, Director of Alumni Experiences & College Events
