It has been one year since COVID-19, a once unknown virus that causes illnesses similar to the common cold, ravaged the world. Currently, there have been well-over 520,000 deaths in the United States alone. However, Americans’ health isn’t the only thing that’s been impacted by the devastating virus.

The virtual panel discussion, “One Year Later: COVID’s Impact on Education,” will be 5 p.m. March 22 on Facebook.
