President Philomena V. Mantella joined other higher education leaders
for a May 31 panel discussion stressing the importance of
public-private partnerships at the Mackinac Policy Conference at the
Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.
Joining Mantella were Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, University of
Michigan President Santa Ono and Lansing Community College President
Steve Robinson. The panel was moderated by Zoe Clark from Michigan Radio.
Mantella discussed Grand Valley's K12 Connect program, which has
provided more than 90,000 tutoring hours to students across Michigan.
"We've got learning loss from the pandemic. There's all sorts of
opportunities to lean in," she said. "I think the objective
is that every one of us has to look for some new ways to lean in,
innovate and then share."
