Hello, Hola, Ni Hau and salut. I'm Cassandra Pittman, ETX Country Manager for the UK and Ireland and I'm thrilled to announce our new podcast series Impact around the world. COVID 19 has affected all of us in different ways, personally and professionally, and lockdown has left us with limited opportunities to connect. During times like this, the power of storytelling cannot be overestimated. Stories connect us, teach us, and most importantly, they reassure us that we are not alone across the series. Join me as I sit down with six of our leading alumni across Europe, Asia and America to understand how the Ed EDT community is living, working, adapting and yes, even thriving in the wake of the pandemic. We are committed to building a community beyond the classroom for you, our 46,000 alumni in over 125 countries around the world. We may still be distanced, but we are not alone. I hope you'll tune it.
