THE OSUN 2020/21 ANNUAL REPORT
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, we–students, faculty, and staff from across the network–can all take pride in our shared achievements. The crisis accelerated collaboration in teaching by bringing 3,000+ OSUN students into more than 180 online courses across five continents. Our partnership of 41 institutions built 50+ diverse projects and our faculty participated in numerous OSUN workshops dedicated to advancing innovations in education, research, access, and civic engagement. Throughout the 2020-21 academic year, these efforts, and more, have demonstrated the collective power of our global network. You are OSUN. You have much to be proud of. Read the full report here.
