“During this challenging time, we are glad to have SoPA faculty members with highly relevant knowledge in many areas,” said SoPA Dean Suri Duitch. “We want to help individuals and families successfully navigate the COVID-19 crisis. “We pride ourselves on partnering with the community and are excited to be a resource through a platform accessible to all.”

Topics to be discussed include emergency preparation for your family, cybersecurity tips for working from home, successfully supervising and teaching children while working at home, digital design skills for all professionals, philanthropy and COVID-19, and legal positioning. Each of the sessions is formatted to help educate the general community during the current climate of the COVID-19 pandemic.
