It also provides an opportunity to learn from each other as we navigate these challenges. With that in mind, the University of Michigan-Flint invites you to submit a proposal to its <strong>Frances Willson Thompson Critical Issues Conference<\/strong>. The two-day event begins <strong>Friday, May 19,<\/strong> with the Frances Willson Thompson Critical Issues Forum that will feature dinner and keynote address <br>and continues <strong>Saturday, May 20<\/strong>, with other keynotes, presentations and panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.313), 18px);\">This conference is designed to bring P-12 and higher education professionals together to explore similarities and differences across contexts, examine shared experiences, and develop deeper understandings of overlapping concerns. The impact that COVID-19 has, and continues to have, on education cannot be overstated. The aim is for presenters and participants alike to leave feeling heard and valued and to begin to develop a learning community across educational settings. While building a growing sense of community is vital, an additional goal is for conferencegoers to take away ideas that they might begin to incorporate into their own professional practices. As we know, students at all levels have endured a disruption in their educational experiences as the pandemic exacerbated already-existing opportunity gaps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center mb-4 has-primary-color has-text-color\"><strong>Schedule of Events<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-7\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Friday, May 19<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-5\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Saturday, May 20<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-7\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>5-6 p.m.<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Registration<\/strong><\/td><td>University Center (UCEN) Lobby<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Social Hour<\/strong><\/td><td>UCEN Happenings Room<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>6 p.m.<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Dinner<\/strong><\/td><td>UCEN Michigan Rooms<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>6:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Welcome<\/strong><\/td><td><em>Sonja Feist-Price<\/em>, Provost &amp;
