Laptops help schoolchildren learn and stay connected in midst of COVID-19
April 19, 2020
On Friday, April 17, UC Med Mentors will give away 20 laptops to a group of school children between noon and 2 p.m. Parents and youth will pick up their laptops in Kresge Circle adjacent to the UC College of Medicine. It replaces a special annual ceremony the college normally holds but has been canceled due to COVID-19. UC Med Mentors is a volunteer mentorship program in the College of Medicine that connects more than 200 medical students with more than 100 school-age children. Med student Nathan Lawera is co-president of the organization with fellow medical student Maura Kopchak.
