Dr. Stefan Wiecki is the Associate Professor of History. He will be mediating the discussion that takes place Wednesday. 

The panel discussion will have each professor speak for a few minutes about their knowledge of the coronavirus and then will allow students to ask any questions that they may have about where the virus originated, how its spreading, and what implications it may have on our country.
