COVID-19 Update: Smithsonian Education Response Team

Dear Smithsonian Community,

I am pleased to announce that we have formed a Smithsonian Education Response team to support schools facing closure due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak. This is a critical time for us to work collaboratively and make our educational tools available to PreK-12 students. Ruki Neuhold-Ravikumar, Interim Associate Provost for Education Access will lead a pan-institutional team to identify Smithsonian resources to support the contingency plans being developed by schools. Thank you to the team that has stepped up to develop a crisis education response strategy for the Smithsonian. Please offer this team your support.
