Success StoryVirtual Programming Resulting from the Pandemic



Virtual Programming Resulting from the Pandemic

Author: Kerri Ashurst

Planning Unit: Family and Consumer Sciences

Major Program: Family Development General

Outcome: Initial Outcome

From July 2020 to June 2021, Dr. Ashurst led or co-facilitated 8 podcasts, 5 online content trainings, 7 multi-state/national panel presentations, 3 television segments, 6 virtual networking sessions for CYFAR, 4 workshops for virtual conferences, and 2 half-day virtual in-services. All of these were a direct result of need for resources and online professional development options during the pandemic. Reach was significantly increased as a result of more online trainings and resources. All feedback received was positive except that programs were not always long enough.
