GODFREY – Bolstering its commitment to helping the community thrive during uncertain times, Lewis and Clark Community College is hosting Ask the Experts, a series of online discussions with local experts on a variety of subjects.
Psychology Professor Chad Keller believes these discussions are just a part of L&C’s responsibility to the community. The first will be held May 5 and 7.
“The staff and faculty at Lewis and Clark has always had a commitment to the emotional and financial well-being of their students and the community,” Keller said. “This has not changed just because classes are no longer meeting on campus due to COVID-19.”
The discussions are free and open to the public via Zoom, a free video conferencing service. Attendees can choose to participate using audio, video or both. There is also a chat function that allows users to type their questions.
