A rolling parade of cancellations plagued each colleges’ summerofferings for high school students: everything in May, then June, then July and August wascanceled. The months of hard work and planning for the summers’ educational events were nowfor naught and this reality had negative effects on the morale of both faculty and staff. Almost asan afterthought, the TriU Partnership circled back to the idea of an online event and held its firstTriU Committee planning meetings on May 8, 2020. Working as one team and on a tight timeschedule, the TriU Committee brainstormed ideas, decided on a direction and freely sharedresources. After many long meetings, The

Some cardslack details or additional uploads of lesson plans, leaving readers looking for more information.Other cards lack clear indications of what the activity entails, or how much time it will take.Additionally cards can be thoroughly well documented, but may be less adaptable because theycontain too much information. As an example, many cards provide details on an entire coursethat has been modified to meet some of the entrepreneurial mindset competencies.
