Ethan Klausner, Katlyn Kotila, Mason Vanderford, and Jamie Tarantiles, students from The Ohio State, Laurentian, Concordia, and Elon Universities (respectively), offer opinions on whether schools should open and discuss the merits of online versus in-person learning.

​

It seems that everyone from parents to professors to college administrators to politicians have offered their view on whether or not campuses should open this fall.   On this episode of Politics, Meet Me in the Middle we give students from the U.S. and Canada the opportunity to speak their minds.

​
