Full Speed Ahead: Connecting America’s Students to the Internet and Opportunity

On this episode, we are joined by Evan Marwell, CEO of EducationSuperhighway, a non-profit organization that just smashed a very ambitious goal to connect 99% of America’s public school classrooms to high-speed internet. Mr. Marwell talks about the work and partnerships that contributed to this successful venture and what’s next for the organization as America’s students migrate away from classrooms to at-home learning.

The hosts for this episode are Clint Odom, NUL Senior Vice President of Policy & Advocacy and Toni Wiley, NUL Director of Advocacy.
