The COVID-19 pandemic has posed many challenges, but it also provides opportunities to reimagine the future, says Dwayne Matthews.

An evangelist for innovation and strategist for the future of education, he will discuss the need to prepare students to thrive in the new world in a free public presentation “Imagining Learning, Post Pandemic” on Thursday, Aug. 5.

The founder of TomorrowNow Learning Labs, Matthews describes the transformation of education as an urgent national security issue that requires creativity and investment.

His online lecture is part of the Envision community speaker series, which offers thought-provoking discussion about what’s next in our post-COVID future.

The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. on the Microsoft Teams teleconferencing platform. A question-and-answer period will follow Matthews’ formal presentation. Register to attend.
