Dr. Franklin's Leadership Tips
Dr. Franklin has already experienced challenges related to COVID-19, with cancellations of events such as graduation, as well as moving the entire campus to working through online instruction. This includes students in clinical settings who have been impacted. DMU is working to re-imagine and simulate online what those students might be missing. She speaks on the resiliency of the student body, as well as the transitioning of essential services.
