On June 24th, the WFCP hosted the second webinar in a series of three in collaboration with the Postsecondary International Network (PIN), titled ‘Lessons from the Pandemic: Re-engagement.’

Our guest presenters Matt Gotschall, PhD (President, Central Community College, United States), Judith Morris (President and CEO, Lambton College, Canada) and Dr. Lui Hokoana (Chancellor, University of Hawaiʻi Maui College) discussed how their institutions adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, many organisations rapidly redesigned their educational offerings – from teaching and learning to learner support and administration. The ‘impossible” was achieved as leadership, faculty and staff rose to the occasion, but Covid-19 also exposed both organizational and educational weaknesses. What worked, what did not, and why? What will be maintained for the future, and why? What needs to be discarded and why?
