A most extraordinary time producing this short piece about the challenges facing today's students for the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

Thank you, students, for the honesty and trust in us to tell your stories while revealing very personal feelings.

The students came from 6+ states around the US, and . Produced under pandemic conditions, the students even filmed themselves! Bravo

And my partner in all of this -- thank you!
