While the 2020-21 academic year presented several challenges for students, researchers, and practitioners, many persevered. As such, the Fisk-Vanderbilt Center of Excellence transitioned our plans for a Summer 2021 in person workshop to a virtual meeting attended by Bridge Programs and aspirants from across the Midwest, Southeast, MidAtlantic and East Coast.
