I chose these photos because they meant a ton to my COVID experience.
Cross country during COVID times
Rachel Yendluri, Julia Morville, Chloe Taylor
Cross Country; Sports;
This picture was taken when COVID was really bad so we had to run with masks. Although wearing masks while running was safer for everyone, wearing one while running was absolutely miserable. It seemed so much harder to breathe when wearing a mask. Thankfully we were allowed to slide our masks down when we were ten feet apart from someone else but if I wanted to catch up to someone, I would have to slide my mask back up. This was extremely hard because to catch up to someone you had to run faster which meant you would breathe harder. Wearing a mask while catching up to someone was the most miserable feeling. I felt like I could not run as fast with it.

I chose this photo because cross country was a big part of my life during high school. I loved that sport and the experiences I had doing it shaped who I am today. I wanted to share my experience with cross country during COVID.

I chose to contribute this picture to the Springfield College Archives because the resting mask on James Naismith’s neck represents the forward progress the Springfield College community has made in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it doesn’t show full compliance to city/school mask mandates, Mr. Naismith is still technically following the rules because he is outside, and I believe he would have been fully vaccinated by now! This image is and will be relevant to every Springfield College student and staff member that was a part of campus life during the current COVID-19 pandemic (past, present, and future). This is right outside of the Springfield College Campus Union, the center of campus, where almost every individual on campus will pass by at least once a day. By complying with city and campus mask mandates, Naismith (and SC staff/students) is thoughtful of policy/leading by example, empathetic when keeping in mind that wearing a mask protects EVERYONE, and is trying to avoid going back to “Zoom University” or being sent home yet again.

I submitted this story for numerous reasons. Firstly, it was my final for my World Disease course. Secondly, as a History major, I believe in the importance of records. For any future scholars looking to understand the world as it was in 2020, I hope this was somewhat beneficial! Lastly, I submitted this story because through understanding others' experiences, we as a society can grow.

How COVID is impacting the elderly
I chose this because now that school is closed most of my time is being spent at work and I see this on a daily, these residents are depressed because they can't get back to their normal routine like the rest of us. They are scared as well because their population is impaced the most.
Error 404 Senior Year not Found

This photo shows two seniors from the Class of 20’ including myself and Maria Socarras, on our last day of being on the Springfield College campus. Seniors at the end of the year take pictures at the infamous Senior Walk, to mark a rite of passage. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to make this memory at the end of the year with a cap and gown.

I chose this picture to preserve because it shows an aspect of what seniors’ last memory of college could’ve been like. I think it’s important to have not only future researchers, but people in general as well to understand that this means more than just the action of taking a photo. This is just one perspective of what was taken away from us so abruptly. Our last 60 days of being college students now when we look back won’t be filled with memories with friends and celebration; but as a reminder of what the COVID-19 virus has taken away from us.

Past and Present Picture.pdf
This is how all Springfield College students, including the seniors, finished their Spring semester of 2020. Desks were substituted with beds and couches. There were no pencils or notebooks. The only thing that remained constant was a laptop, but this time a microphone was necessary. The lack of attention on the part of the students is very evident. Not only with all the muted microphones, but also the off webcams. There is no way of knowing if the student is even present. This image shows the students' experiences caused by COVID-19 and how they had to be quarantined in their houses. It is important to preserve this because it shows the sacrifices students, as well as teachers, were forced to take. I want them to notice what each student is doing. Many of them are looking away from their computer, and others have their camera turned off to hide what they may have been really doing.

I think it represents one way of trying to support students' religious lives amid the uneasiness of Easter amid a pandemic. The links to livestreamed Masses are also incredibly unique to this moment in history.
The President of Springfield College held a meeting with students about the Coronavirus topic.
Members of Springfield College
It was blurry when I posted the video, therefore I took a screenshot one of the moment in the video, where the students were smiling, and not in a "social distant" time as we are right now. We were all waiting for our Springfield College president to discuss about the global crisis Covid-19.

The experiences of COVID-19 affected all members of the Springfield College community, including students, faculty, and staff. For communication, it is best to meet face to face. However, Springfield College also let those who could not attend to join the Zoom meeting. It is important to preserve this item because this is the very first time that Springfield College faced a global crisis, every move it made could bring a positive or a negative result to the community. Therefore, it might tell the future researchers that a meeting with all members of the community is necessary. It helps to show that Springfield College is always supporting the students and always asks for our opinions and thoughts to better understand what our needs and wants are.
