Guest Lecture: Dr. Nat Malkus on Learning Loss and the Pandemic

The Ciceronian Society is pleased to present Dr. Nat Malkus as one of our Fall semester invitational speakers! Join us for dinner as Dr. Malkus presents on the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the educational sphere.

Dr. Malkus is a senior fellow and the deputy director of education policy at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he specializes in empirical research on K–12 schooling. He is a national expert on a range of educational issues that affect students across the country—including Career and Technical Education, school choice, Advanced Placement, standardized testing, and how the nation’s schools responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Before joining AEI, Dr. Malkus was a senior researcher at the American Institutes for Research, where he led research teams analyzing national education data on topics including how many college students take remedial courses, the comparisons between charter and traditional public schools, and student achievement and graduation rates in schools undergoing turnaround reforms. Earlier, he spent four years as a middle school teacher in Maryland.
