In this week’s “What Will You Keep for Fall 2021?” I talk with Vicky Meretsky from the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs about her use of online office hours, particularly in the evening. Vicky talks a bit about this option being particularly good for working students, and she shares a few approaches she uses to make students feel more welcome.
If you have something to share—or know of a colleague who does—let me know, and we will set up an interview. To see all our “What Will You Keep”? videos, look for the WWYK tag in our blog.
As a former student of Dr. Meretsky and an O’Neill SPEA alum, I am pleased that the teaching excellence continues! The ideas of the whiteboard for directional information and taking students who need to have a private conversation into a breakout room are wonderful additions to the school’s supportive environment!
