Title A name given to the resource Don’t Forget to Wear Your Mask Description An account of the resource This photo is a string of emails sent to me, a Springfield College student, in my sophomore year here. This displays emails from the Division of Student, the Department of Public Safety, the Counseling Center, the Division of Inclusion, Lauren Mahler who is the community director of Alumni Hall, Residence Life, and Visual and Performing arts. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sara Colbert Springfield College Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource This photo shows fourteen emails sent from September 8th to November 4th in 2021. Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant I chose this string of emails because I feel like in the future masks won’t be something that’s thought about nearly as much as they are now. Seeing how important and absolutely mandatory they were to allow us to go to school might be shocking and interesting to some people. Personally I thought masks would’ve been a thing of the past by now, but with the pandemic still in full swing, they’re still mandatory. We’ve been wearing them for such a long time that it’s become part of the routine to even leave my room. I’ve gotten used to every email including “wear your mask”, so it’s not bothersome anymore, just discouraging that it’s lasted so long.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Health Sciences Epidemiology Classes Description An account of the resource This collection includes items submitted by students in the Health Science major who were enrolled in HSCI 325: Biostatistics, HSCI 340: Principles of Epidemiology, or HSCI 420: Evidence-Based Health Care in the spring 2020 semester. These three courses cover topics related to the distribution and determinants of disease, and in spring 2020 these topics were illustrated using examples related to COVID-19. At the end of the semester, students were given the option to contribute to this archive for extra credit towards their final project grade. To receive extra credit, students were asked to identify, capture, and describe an item that could be used as a primary source by future historians and researchers to study the experiences of Springfield College during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title A name given to the resource Resident Assistant's Life From Quarantine Description An account of the resource This is a screenshot of an email I received from residence life in regards to our end of the year ceremony for all the RA's. Subject The topic of the resource Residence Life Awards Ceremony Online Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Willow Mennone Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource May 5, 2020 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant A huge part of being a student at Springfield College for me is being a RA. Having to go to school from home has eliminated this important part of my college experience, as I am sure it has for many others. I find myself reaching out to my residents often and making jokes with my family that they can get written up for having alcohol. Having the final RA awards ceremony be online is not ideal, but it at least it's something rather than it just being cancelled like most things right now. I also appreciate the line that refers to being all "Zoomed-out" because this is a very accurate representation of what it is like to be a Springfield College student right now.

Prior to the email being released, a large amount of the student body and faculty were skeptical of the pandemic being a serious event. The email Sent by President Cooper made COVID-19 a historical that would change the current perspective at the time dramatically.

Title A name given to the resource Academic Policy Changes at Springfield College Description An account of the resource This is an email from the Office of Academic Affairs at Springfield College. This email is addressing new academic policy changes that have been put in place due to the transition into online learning that has resulted from the coronavirus pandemic. These accommodations are aiming to give students a better chance to succeed online by offering different options to receive grades. These options include pass/fail, course withdraw, and incomplete. Later on in the email, each option is explained into further detail and deadlines are given for students who choose to use any of these accommodations. Subject The topic of the resource Springfield College Students Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Office of Academic Affairs at Springfield College Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource March 31, 2020 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant I chose this email because it represents the lengths that the college has had to go to in order to accommodate for their students during this pandemic. Not only have we had to transition to online learning, but the school has also had to make changes to the academic policy so that students can succeed online. This requires a lot of time in effort from the Office of Academic Affairs. The fact that they are willing to make these changes for the greater good of the students displays a great amount of support from the Springfield College community. They have clearly acknowledged that this change is hard on everyone, especially students, and they are willing to help in any way that they can. This relieves a lot of the stress that students are experiencing during this time and gives them hope that they can still perform well. It makes me proud to be a part of a school that is so accommodating in hard times like these.
