About Marlborough: Learning Together at a Distance
How are students, teachers, parents and alums dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic? And how does COVID-19 connect to other social, economic and political issues? Dr. Catherine Atwell, Dean of Student Research, talks with members of the Marlborough community to learn about how they've been coping - and sometimes not coping - with the pandemic. And in the process, we learn about the creative ways teachers and students are learning together, at a distance.
Join us for a lively conversation with two Marlborough Alumnae Council award winners for 2020, author and columnist Annabel Schwedes Monaghan '87 and communications director/campaign staffer Maya Humes '10. Annabel and Maya share how they each discovered the path to a fulfilling and successful career, as well as how their lives have been affected by the pandemic.
