We recently heard from 2019 CHS/MST grad Monica Chang who is studying at Harvard this year. As per normal, she’s networking and creating opportunities for people. Here’s what she had to say:
“I’m currently helping lead an initiative called CovEd to connect low-income K-12 students with undergraduate and postgraduate students for free virtual tutoring during these months. Our vision is to encourage and empower students who may be struggling with online schooling because of limited access to resources and technology or because of a difficult home situation. We also hope to minimize the extra work placed on teachers because of the transition to online classes. We currently have more than 1000 mentor volunteers so far from universities like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and MIT, and we’ve started tutoring sessions for over 400 students. You can find us on MIT’s Rapid Innovation Dashboard, or on our website www.coved.org! Please feel free to forward this resource on to any students you think are struggling/dealing with difficult home situations at this time.”
