Recorded prior to the #BLM moment, this episode talks about planning for Fall 2020 in the new COVID world. It’s almost impossible to plan when everything feels so up in the air, and transitioning through the frantic effort of moving classes and life online, to summer, and then on to Fall prep, has been profoundly destabilzing for almost everyone.
