From Tom King
PC, like most colleges, closed and we are moving our classes online. As so many of you are painfully aware (I hope the nightmares have ended) I offer these as challenges to my classes. Meeting for the first time virtually this past Thursday, I told my OrgTheory classes that it was going to be a huge challenge to reconfigure their semester projects from organizing fundraising events for local Providence charities which, clearly, was no longer possible with everyone spread all over New England.
