CUMU’s member-led Learning & Sharing Virtual Series launched in mid-March, and since then, we’ve hosted nearly 15 presentations featuring over 50 leaders from across the coalition.
Since the series launched, much has changed. Some changes are seasonal and positive; spring is here, the sun is shining and flowers are blooming. Americans are receiving vaccinations at record rates, and plans are being announced to reopen campuses with higher density this fall. Although there may be a greater sense of optimism, multiple tragic events of gun violence, hate, and police brutality have also occurred during the last month. CUMU members continue to be resilient, creative and supportive of one another in providing resources and spaces to learn and connect, and the Learning & Sharing Virtual Series will continue creating this needed space throughout the next month.
Nearly twenty sessions are scheduled through mid-May, each featuring our members and collaborative partners. Review the full schedule. We’ve curated the following list of recordings of recent sessions that you may find valuable. When the series ends, recordings will be added to our programming inventory.
