The BPS PUI Network will hold its very first webinar “Challenges and Opportunities Teaching at a PUI During 2020,” on August 11, 2020 from 1:00 - 2:00 PM Eastern Time. For many, 2020 has proven to be an unpredictable year. In this webinar, panelists will discuss the challenges and the opportunities for PUI faculty during this unique time as it relates to COVID-19, anti-racism, inclusion and diversity, online teaching, research with undergraduates, and more. Webinar registrants will have a chance to submit additional topics for discussion. To register, please visit by clicking here.
