Some good news:

It's easy for white folks to recoil from Amy Cooper once we've had a front row seat to her rage-filled voice turning trembly and fragile when the 911 operator picks up.
When we don't break white silence with ongoing and explicit teaching about race and racism, and active and persistent modeling of antiracism, we end up raising the Amy Coopers of the next generation.
How lucky UVA had commencement music from Yo Yo Ma, that doesnt happen every day!
World-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma performed “Pomp and Circumstance” along with three other songs as part of the UVA Class of 2020 virtual celebration.
Politics aside this article by David Brooks really speaks to the value of education--" Think of all the young students, in schools everywhere, assigned Plutarch and Thucydides, Isaiah and Frederick Douglass — the great lessons from the past on how to lead, endure, triumph or fail. Only the great books stay in the mind for decades and serve as storehouses of wisdom when hard times come."
Imagining Covid under a normal president.
“The two have pursued 100% together a graduate degree in Occupational Therapy attending all the same classes, lectures, faculty appointments … fully making Griffin an equal member of the Clarkson Golden Knights family.”
A service dog named Griffin attended classes with his owner Brittany Hawley. When she graduated, the Clarkson University gave the dog an honorary degree.

Generation X knows for sure that we got this. Heck, we’ve been training for a moment like this all our lives.
There are roughly 65 million of us ― but we are easy enough to overlook. Generation X is generally accepted to have been born in that sliver of time between 1965 and 1980.
An interesting read!
We need to think about how we stimulate our economy and workforce from the ground up. Guess where that starts? School counselors.
In interviews with Teen Vogue students and teachers say that cheating remained a big issue.

Interesting take on why now is NOT the time to take a gap year.
For many high school students graduating this spring, heading to college in the fall marks an exciting transition and, for some, the first steps toward achieving the American dream. That
Throughout this planning, the health and safety of our community have been and will continue to be our top priority as I noted, and that requires some important changes for the year ahead:
The university will utilize a combination of in-person and online instruction, and an adjusted calendar with no fall or spring breaks.
Four out of 10 of the poorest U.S. students are accessing remote learning as little as once a week or less, according to a new survey from ParentsTogether, an advocacy group.
Parents from low-income homes are twice as likely to say remote learning is going poorly or very poorly, and 1 in 3 of all parents say they are "very concerned" about children falling behind.
Here is how nine Philadelphia-area colleges are planning for the fall.
Institutions in the Philadelphia region are considering many variations of college life, including full in-person instruction, hybrid in-person and virtual instruction, and a fully virtual semester.
Up until now, online education has been relegated to the equivalent of a hobby at most universities. Is that all about to change?
The coronavirus forced a shift to virtual classes, but their continuation could be beneficial even after the pandemic ends.
The University of Notre Dame recently announced plans to return students to campus for the fall semester. In order to reduce the chances that students from around the country and the world with multiple departures and returns will carry pathogens with them, we will bring students back two weeks early, forgo a fall break and finish the semester before Thanksgiving.
It is a moral question in which important principles are in tension.
As colleges try to plan their fall operations and shape their classes, they face a big question that will largely be answered by forces outside their control: If they do resume in-person classes, will international students be able to join them?
Colleges prepare for big declines in new international student enrollments due to the coronavirus pandemic. But survey data show that about 90 percent of current students remain in the U.S.
This will make you smile 😀
A grandmother in New Jersey bought an inflatable unicorn costume just so she could give her grandsons a hug. It's the first time Maureen Sweeney has hugged her grandsons Rylan and Lincoln since March 17.
College students with disabilities are more likely to drop out of school, and only 34 percent complete a four-year program.

We can’t stand by while so many students’ futures are derailed for lack of a reliable internet connection.

The coronavirus test wasn't as bad as Celeste Torres imagined. Standing outside a dorm at the University of California, San Diego, Torres stuck a swab up a nostril, scanned a QR code, and went on with the day.
Colleges might be able to reopen their campuses if they're able to frequently test their students. But can they get tests --- and with budgets already squeezed, will they be able to afford it?
The university said lectures would continue virtually until summer 2021, while it may be possible for smaller teaching groups to take place in person if it “conforms to social-distancing requirements”.

The University of California on Thursday voted to phase out the SAT and ACT as requirements to apply to its system of 10 schools, which include some of the nation’s most popular campuses, in a decision with major implications for the use of standardized tests in college admissions.
The change is expected to accelerate the momentum of American colleges away from the tests, amid concern that they are unfair to poor, black and Hispanic students.

"A senior spring comes once and never again. A socially distanced one is bittersweet, to say the least."
Among the many losses piling up from this period of quarantine, one of the most piercing is the plight of graduating students.
Fever checkpoints at the entrances to academic buildings. One-way paths across the grassy quad. Face masks required in classrooms and dining halls. And a dormitory turned quarantine facility for any students exposed to the coronavirus.
We listened as University of Kentucky administrators discussed bringing students back to campus, providing a glimpse into what other schools might do in the fall.
