HIGHER EDUCATION IN TURBULENT TIMES: Challenges, Resilience, Community Response, and Role of Universities (Experience of U.S. and Ukraine)

Join us for a casual roundtable with a delegation from Ukraine’s Kyiv-Mohyla Academy to discuss the state of higher education in both Ukraine and the U.S. Some of the topics of discussion include how Ukrainian universities operate during wartime, the experiences of displaced scholars and students, and the resilience and activism of youth. We’ll also explore international cooperation, psychological challenges, and the future of education in both countries amid ongoing crises.

• Dmytro Mazin, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities
• Olha Poliukhovych, Vice President for Research and Academic Affairs
• Nataliia Rudnytska, Head of the Department of English Language
