'There's A Way To Work Through This': Why ASU President Michael Crow is Optimistic About Spring Learning

Arizona health officials added more than 12,000 new coronavirus cases and 23 additional deaths to the state's total count as of Dec. 8.

Hospitalizations also continue to rise, but ICU bed usage dropped from 92% to 90%.

Even as there is optimism about a COVID-19 vaccine being available to frontline medical workers as early as the middle of this month, uncertainty reigns when it comes to the virus.

Most states in the country — including Arizona — are seeing the dramatic spike in cases continue.

That has K-12 schools trying to figure out what to do in January. And the state’s universities are putting together their plans for the spring semester as well.

Last week on The Show, we heard from one instructor from ASU’s Barrett, the Honors College about her concerns over how the fall semester was managed and what could be next.

This week, The Show also spoke with ASU President Michael Crow for his perspective on how the fall semester went.
