We will learn about the value of taking a collective impact approach to address these prioirities. We will then have leaders from postsecondary education who focus on wellbeing, equity, and sustainability speak to successes and missed opportunities for taking a collective impact appraoch.  \\n \"", "startDate":"2020-12-09", "endDate":"2020-12-09", "startTime":"13:00", "endTime":"14:30", "location":"", "label":"Add to Calendar", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"US/Eastern", "trigger":"click", "inline":true, "listStyle":"modal", "iCalFileName":"invite.ics" }
