REMINDER: COVID-19 REFLECTION PROJECT BEING LAUNCHED BY ARCHIVIST ERICA DONNIS

We know that COVID-19 has impacted faculty work and everyday life. What should we know about your experience? By submitting your written reflections and images to the College Archives, you will contribute invaluable first-person perspectives not captured in news articles, social media posts, or official emails. We will not only be archiving your responses for future reference but will be sharing some of them out publicly as we receive them. Please add your voice to this important moment in our history. This form contains faculty/staff-specific prompts and suggestions to get you started on your reflections, followed by a License Agreement that you must read and agree to in order to deposit your work to the College Archives. At the end is a place to upload your file(s).  If you’d like to encourage your students to participate, please share this student-specific form with them.
