Virtual version of Youth Leadership Conference, Education Abroad Fair highlight spring semester’s second week Future leaders need a panoply of knowledge — civics, basic economics, government — and skills — people savvy, logistical aptitude, communications ability. Next week, Norwich will stoke leadership aptitude in high school students through a virtual version of the Youth Leadership Conference. The conference, running Friday through Sunday, highlights the events calendar for the Spri...

01/14/21 A new program out of Olivet Nazarene Universitys School of Graduate and Continuing Studies is using an online, asynchronous flipped model to provide adult students a pathway to earn a bachelors degree. The Your Way program offers tuition-free general education courses in which students access course material independently, and then participate in an online community with classmates and faculty to "expand their knowledge and deepen understanding," the university explained in a news anno...
