On Thursday, May 28^th at 9 a.m. EDT, the National Press Club will host a 75-minute panel discussion with education leaders representing schools around the country. Dr. Anne Kress will offer leadership insights into the best safety protocols that NOVA has taken to ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic and how the college has upheld its commitment to student success as the nation’s second largest community college abruptly switched from in-class to remote learning and telework. 

The panel of educators will discuss how schools and universities are responding to the coronavirus crisis and how they are preparing for all possible scenarios for fall.
