In the coming weeks, we'll be highlighting some of our staffers' experiences as they transition to and navigate online learning. Read about Peter, one of the MAPS co-coordinators below:Â

How are you adjusting to the transition to online classes?
For the most part, it has been relatively smooth. All of my class sizes are small, which makes Zoom conducive to continuing our weekly lectures and discussions.Â
Can you describe a moment this past semester (on campus or post-quarantine) where you felt you were in community with other folks around you?
Following the start of remote classes, I have been spending a bit of time each day catching up with friends and mentors, both from Brown and elsewhere (such as high school, community organizations, etc) over Zoom, FaceTime and Google Hangouts. Closer to home, it has been a privilege to be able to eat dinner with my family each night and see them throughout the day.Â
Any TV/music/book/podcast/etc. suggestions?
Yes, I have lots. I recently began watching a show called The Circle on Netflix, and will soon be watching the newest season of Insecure on HBO. I also recently began listening to Dascha Polanco's podcast called Brown Love and a podcast called MindYourMoney*Â by Yanely Espinal '11 (@MissBeHelpful).
