A MESSAGE FOR OUR TIMES, FROM CHERE
In this continuing unsettling time, we often feel disconnected from the important work we do in the outside world – support the students and families who depend on us for our skills, talents and efforts.
CHERE is providing a forum for ideas that can help us all do better, now and into the future ahead.
How do we bridge the digital divide? How do we keep students engaged when “campus life” is an uncertain and evolving reality?
Share with us any especially good ideas you’ve come up with. Raise any questions that you find most daunting and for which you’d invite other ideas and perspectives.
Send your ideas and questions to educationRwe2@gmail.com We’ll post some of them to this website. Thank you!

Take a look at the document compiled by CHERE Director David Johnston in 2020, updated in 2023.
