March | Global Updates & Resources
COVID19 Update from Executive Director
The Council has been working remote since March 17 and look forward to returning to our office on Northern Kentucky University’s campus once it is safe. In the meantime, our staff will be experimenting with fun and innovative ways to connect with our community. Each week we will share weekly emails that will include “education kits” designed to help keep our students, parents, and teachers engaged, connected, and informed through these challenging times.
We are currently planning future international visitor opportunities, scheduling intriguing guest lectures, and developing exciting education programs for local students.
Please let us know how you and your family are handling the quarantine. Feel free to send us happy, hopeful messages, and funny memes, and coping mechanisms. Stay tuned for more updates and to view the video please click this link.
