About the event

As the world around us continues to change at a rapid pace, everyday aspects of life can seem more challenging and complex than usual. In partnership with Crystal J. Lucky, PhD, the Villanova University Alumni Association is excited to offer a new virtual series: Dealing with Everyday Life in a Pandemic with Dr. George James '01.

This five-part series will cover topics such as relationship dynamics, everyday activities, parenting and work/life balance, and will culminate with a live Q&A with Dr. Lucky and Dr. James which registrants are encouraged to submit questions for in advance. Each of the first four recordings will be sent to registrants weekly, beginning the week of July 13.

Registrants are encouraged to watch the conversations each week, and then attend the live Q&A session on August 12 at noon EDT.
