Winona State University-Rochester is here to help answer questions about online education, distance learning, and other alternative modes of delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Jeanine Gangeness, Associate Vice President of Rochester, recently held on online video chat with Ms. Samantha Spinner, a fourth-grade teacher and current student of the WSU-Rochester Graduate Induction Program.
