SUMMARY:Book Release Event: The Pivot: One Pandemic\, One University
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special book release event and panel discussion 
 celebrating the publication of The Pivot: One Pandemic\, One University 
 (Duke University Press\, 2022)\, detailing how Duke University shifted 
 everything to meet the challenges of the pandemic head-on.\n\nThe COVID-19 
 pandemic presented higher education with an unprecedented challenge: How 
 could institutions continue the basic work of teaching and research while 
 maintaining safe environments for their faculty\, staff\, and students? In 
 The Pivot\, Robert J. Bliwise interviews people across Duke’s campus: 
 from bus drivers and vaccine researchers to student activists\, dining hall 
 managers\, and professors in areas from English to ecology. He explores the 
 shift to teaching online and the reshaping of research programs\; how 
 surveillance testing and reconfiguring residence halls and dining sites 
 helped limit the virus spread on campus\; the efforts to promote student 
 well-being and to sustain extracurricular programs\; and what the surge in 
 COVID-19 cases meant for the university health system.\n\nAlthough the 
 pandemic put remarkable pressures on the campus community\, Bliwise 
 demonstrates that it ultimately reaffirmed the importance of the campus 
 experience in all its richness and complexity.\n\nBliwise will be joined by 
 three Duke faculty members profiled in the book\, who will discuss teaching 
 during the pandemic and lessons learned. Panelists include:\n\n\n	Thomas J. 
 Ferraro (Professor of English)\n	Omid Safi (Professor of Asian and Middle 
 Eastern Studies)\n	Kristin Goss (Professor of Public Policy)\n\n\nCopies of 
 the book will be available for sale.\n\nCo-sponsored by Duke University 
 Press and Duke Learning Innovation.\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\nRobert J. 
 Bliwise is Editor Emeritus of Duke Magazine\, where he served as Editor for 
 almost forty years.\n\n \n\n
