Think about the long term, but focus on the short term.
As we all began to experience the COVID 19 pandemic, Dr. Natalie Harder and her team at South Louisiana Community College sprang into action. SLCC was able to have 95% of their courses online and ready for students within 48 hours and enabled 90% of their staff to work remotely within 24 hours. Natalie joins us on the podcast this week to discuss how her team was able to make the necessary shifts to support students and staff in the most efficient way.
This episode addresses questions, such as:
- What helped make the transition to online work and instruction successful?
- How did people come together while transitioning to virtual work?
- What effect do values and culture have on leading in times of uncertainty?
