Learn From Where You Are
Northwestern is experiencing an unprecedented situation in the response to COVID-19. In our efforts to come together as a community during this time, it’s important that we continue to engage with each other as we work in off-site locations, and promote our well-being. Learn From Where You Are is here to provide you access to on-demand and live virtual learning, and offer you ways to grow professionally, build your skills, and stay engaged and connected.
This is a new venture for all of us, and we are working hard to add content over the coming days, so please check back often.
