It is certainly no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside-down. This is perhaps especially true when it comes to the field of education. As students have transitioned to primarily online modes of learning, university campuses across the country have seen massive shifts in living, learning and providing instruction.
In UofL’s College of Education and Human Development, many faculty members have also contended with another pandemic dilemma – ensuring that students are involved in practicum experiences and maintaining the quality of those experiences during such uncertain times.

University of Louisville researchers and innovators love a good challenge. And in 2020 a year of challenges they continued pushing forward, creating and commercializing groundbreaking technologies that can improve the way we work and live. They were recognized for those contributions at the presentation of the second annual EPIC Innovation Awards, held January 28.
“Innovation is absolutely critical to UofL’s mission,” said UofL President Neeli Bendapudi. “It’s what drives us and inspires us. Our three most important goals as a university are to be a great place to learn, to work and to invest, and the work of these innovators contributes to all three.”
