Marietta, Georgia, November 9, 2020 – Life University’s (LIFE) Dr. Georgianna (Geo) Laws was selected as a speaker for Online Learning Consortium’s premier conference this November, the 2020 OLC Accelerate + Velocity Conference – collectively one of the largest and most impactful gatherings of the online learning community.

As the world has pivoted to the online environment during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become even more important for educators to connect around reimagining pathways for student success within incredibly challenging contexts.

OLC Accelerate (held November 9-18) and OLC Velocity (held November 18-20) provide a path for those of all experience levels and backgrounds to share practices, address challenges and envision the future of online, blended and digital learning around the world.
