cityofhope.org

Many colleges and universities have expanded their distance learning programs.  How do local distance-learning institutions stay competitive? We ask the president of University of Maryland University College, fighting to hold on to its claim as America’s largest online public university. Then, doctors at Johns Hopkins Bayview's ‘Multidisciplinary Cancer Clinic’ have developed an approach to fighting cancer that puts the patient in the driver’s seat. We talk with them about how it changes treatment. Plus, writer AzarNafisi talks with Tom Hall about the role of fiction beyond just telling a good story.
