Will the Fall Semester Happen? What Should Parents Do? Guest Michael Horn Twin XL: The Podcast

    • Society & Culture

Parents and students want to have assurances from campuses that the fall semester will happen … either in person, online or a combination. Ultimately, families are looking for a guarantee … but, there is no guarantee right now. With all the uncertainty Laura and Beth chat with Michael Horn, who speaks and writes about the future of education and works with a portfolio of education organizations to improve the life of each and every student. He is the author of the book Choosing College, which "strips away the noise around college to help students and parents understand why they are going to school and how to make better choices, as well as aids schools in designing better experiences."
