RTWH2020 -- the Online Classroom -- Guest Speakers thru BBCU! -- Office of National Scholarships-- Public Service Opportunities

Our online synchronous course meetings have been going well, using the Blackboard Collaborate Ultra platform.  We can see and hear each other during our seminars with no technical difficulties.

During Thursday's class, for the first time we welcomed guest speakers using the link for the BBCU session.  That, too, worked well.  Our guests, after I made them "presenters," were also able to share their PPT presentation with the class. 

These guest speakers were from USF's Office of National Scholarships. See

They assist students who want to apply for national awards like Fulbright and the Truman  Scholarship.

I was so pleased that Lauren Chambers and Lauren Bartsche could speak to the stellar students in my RTWH2020 course specifically about prestigious public service opportunities.

You may be looking at future Fulbrighters and/or Florida Gubernatorial Fellows as you peruse pics posted on this blog.  I will certainly do my best to support and mentor the students -- along with the brilliant assistance of the ONS.

And -- thanks to the BBCU platform that enabled us to continue with our guest speakers as planned.
