As we head into week six of spring term after a campus closure, we invite you to review our instructional continuity teaching guide for recommendations on adjusting your teaching plans thoughtfully after campus closure. It is also crucial to support our students emotionally and academically right now. Our Trauma-Informed Teaching Primer offers valuable resources to help you navigate these interactions.
Please remember, the OAI team is here to support you. Do not hesitate to reach out for assistance or to discuss any concerns you might have. You can reply to this email or reach out to our faculty support desk to start a conversation.

At PSU, we “let knowledge serve the city,” but how? To what end? Who benefits? Come to this hybrid panel event to hear stories from Dr Martin Luther King Jr School Museum of Contemporary Art (KSMoCA).
KSMoCA connects public school students with internationally renowned contemporary artists through collaborative workshops, exhibitions, artists lectures, and site-specific commissions. It reimagines the way museums, public schools, and universities can affect people, culture, and perspectives by creating radical intersections for sharing resources across organizations. Programs are developed collaboratively with the Dr MLK Jr School community, PSU students, and a team of supporting artists.
