The last stretch before really being considered an adult. I was beyond excited. We were finally allowed to eat outside during lunch, come in late if we had a study, got the good parking spots up front, we could even have coffee which was very important on the days that dragged on. I was most excited for friday night football games under the lights, standing on the sidelines with the rest of my team and winning the homecoming game. But that didn’t exactly happen. EEE took away the lights from us and almost took the whole season with it. Luckily we played through. We didn’t know it yet but those days were the very start of the curse of 2020. In December, word of the so-called “Coronavirus” started spreading through the media. I can remember seeing a bunch of different memes about it but not thinking anything of it because it was so far away from us all the way in China. Then by the end of January things started getting serious. January 20th, ten days before my 18th birthday, the first Covid case in the U.S. was reported. I was terrified. All the jokes we made about how it could never get here came back to haunt us. This was really happening. We managed to survive February in my town. All was going well up until the middle of March when a guy from the high school a town over was confirmed of having it. It was the week before March Madness Spirit Week which was HUGE at my high school. It was also the week of my final football banquet and the beginning of practices for the lacrosse team. On March 13th my world stopped dead in its tracks. At the end of that day there was an announcement and I remember it clear as day, “The high school will be �closing down for two weeks for safety reasons. All students should bring home books and supplies necessary to complete homework for said time.” We were so excited because we got an extra two weeks off from school and when we came back, there’d be one week of class and then April Vacation. However that turned out not to be the case. Two weeks turned into three, then four, and then the whole rest of the year. That announcement was just one of things that caused my world to crumble. Right after school ended, I was in the band room for the weekly Tri-M Music Honors Society meeting and I got a text from my dad; “Call me - we need to talk.” I don’t know about anyone else’s dad but when I get texts like those it's never a good thing, especially when it's two o’clock in the afternoon and I know he’s still at work. I left my meeting early because I knew this had to be important. For a little background, my parents are divorced and have been since the beginning of my freshman year of high school so I’d only get to see him once every other weekend. I, having always been my dad’s little girl, took it really hard at first and still struggle with it to this day because we’ve always been so close. At the time he asked me to call him, he was living in my grandmother’s house and was taking care of her because she got knee surgery and couldn’t walk around the house yet and had just beaten cancer a few years prior. When he answered the phone, I could tell he was already choked up. He tells me that because of the Coronavirus shutting down schools and because Mimi’s immune system was still very weak, I couldn’t come over to see her which also meant I couldn’t see him either for at least a month. The news hit me like a bus. I started tearing up immediately because that day I was supposed to see the both of them. It was hard having the one thing you were looking forward to all day be the thing that got ripped away from you in an instant. I got off of the phone and it took everything in me not to cry. I felt like the world stopped and everyone was looking at me. There was so much that happened within an hour and I couldn’t control it and it was killing me. I just needed a hug. Then quarantine happened and my mental health took the biggest hit. I became extremely unmotivated and didn’t want to do anything. I holed myself up in my room and didn't �do anything except my online classes/homework, sleeping, eating, and watching Netflix. My body started to feel so weak because I would barely move from my bed. I went from dancing at least two hours everyday of the week and weekend in the studio to only an hour every other day of the week. Dancing became my outlet for my emotions. On Wednesdays we’d have a combination class where my teacher would teach 2 8-counts of a combo and let us improvise for the rest of the song. The songs would always be in the contemporary style so every week it was like I got to write down my feelings on a page except it was my body writing words on the walls of my bedroom. Dancing was one of the things I missed the most. The girls on my team are some of the closest friends I’ve had and it took a huge toll on all of us when we found out we weren’t going to have a final competition season. I didn’t hang out with my friends, although I really wanted to, because I wanted to see my dad and grandmother. It was one of the only two things keeping me somewhat focussed on school. The other was I knew if I failed any of my classes I wouldn’t get to graduate. Fast forward a few months through quarantine, online schooling, and LOTS of Netflix, it was almost June which meant I finally got to graduate. I had been waiting for this day for four years. Our school was very hesitant about letting us have a ceremony because there were 169 kids in my class. The administration settled on a drive-by graduation where we’d drive up to the front of the school, take our diploma, walk to the center of the small stage, switch our tassel, take a picture, and leave. I was somewhat thankful that we didn’t have to sit in the sun for hours like we would have if it was completely normal but it wasn’t great either. I was just happy it was over and I was free of the burden that was high school and all the drama that went with it; especially during quarantine. Going through what I did id something that I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemies. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Being in the middle of a pandemic is unlike any experience I have ever had. The virus has no sympathy. It does not pick and choose who it affects but instead invades any person that it can reach. This has resulted in numerous months of isolation and loneliness for a lot of people. Yes, thanks to technology we can still communicate with friends and family through a screen, but this is no substitute for face-to-face interaction; something that we previously took for granted. Schools began to close in the middle of March and since then there have been multiple waves of the virus. Now it is December and another major wave has hit the country, but despite this, the administration of a vaccine has started, and the storm cloud that has cast a gloom over the entire world for the past year seems to slowly be lifting. Covid-19 has caused so many aspects of my life to be uprooted. The end of my senior year in high school was basically canceled: no prom, no spring track season, and a graduation ceremony with only 20 out of the 400 students in my graduating class. I already felt like I was living in a dystopian society, but little did I know that this was the tip of the iceberg in terms of normal aspects in my life that would be taken from me. Every kid dreams of going to college, to finally live on their own with no parental guidance. All of my ideas of what I imagined my college experience to be like were immediately thrown out the window. Masks had to be worn everywhere besides my own dorm room. Walking around campus I could not make out the faces behind the masks. In my double dorm room, besides me and my roommate, only two others could be in there at a time. My soccer season was modified to the extent that we played zero �games and practiced only three days a week. School did not feel like school. I rolled out of bed for my 8 am class at 7:59 am only to go sit at my desk, flip my laptop open, and click on a link to a Zoom meeting, still in my pajamas and wrapped in a warm blanket. Even that was more than I had to do. I could have just logged into Zoom from my bed, but knowing myself I would not have been able to focus on school and might have even drifted off to sleep during a class if I did that. Despite all of these changes that no one expects to have to endure when going to college for the first time, I was still able to make new friends, socialize safely on the weekends, learn a lot, and play the sport I love. This all ended abruptly though when at the end of October, all members of Gulick Hall, where I lived, were quarantined and two days later all classes went remote. Students were given the option to stay on campus or to go home until the start of the spring semester. Most everyone chose to go home, as did I. This sudden change caused my final days of living at school for the fall semester to be filled with stress. On top of the normal anxiousness that I was already feeling, my roommate found out that she was in close contact with someone that had tested positive. This made me wonder if I should go home or not. My mind was swirling with questions. Should I go home and risk bringing the virus to my family? Should I stay and be quarantined for two weeks in Gulick without my friends as they were moving back home? My parents made the decision for me: I was coming home. I got a Covid test on the morning of the day I moved out. I had to move every last thing out of my dorm room by myself as my parents were not allowed to enter the building. On my ride home I wore a mask as I had spent the last 48 hours in my ten-foot by ten-foot dorm room with a potentially infected person. �At home, I immediately quarantined myself in my room, not knowing if my exposure to the virus had caused me to become infected. I received my test results the next day and I was negative, but my roommate also found out that she was positive that same day. The tricky thing about Covid is that even though I tested negative, the health center told me that a positive test result could still be produced up to fourteen days after I was last exposed. For the next two weeks, I lived in my bedroom, leaving only to walk the five steps out my door and into the bathroom, or to go for runs around my neighborhood. My parents brought food up to me on a tray and I would even eat with my door open so I would feel like I was at least partly eating with my family. I tried to keep myself occupied so I would not think about the high possibility that I was infected, but it was difficult not to let my mind wander. After one week of quarantine, I tested negative again. I loosened my restrictions a little to allow myself to go into the kitchen to make my own food but was still wearing a mask in my own home. On the last day of my two-week quarantine, I went to get tested for the third and final time. This was the moment of truth. The next morning I woke up to a negative test result. I was lucky. I feel like I escaped not only Covid but the long-term effects from it that no one knows about yet. I feel grateful that I was able to learn about Covid-19 while I was living through it. This class has taught me so much about infectious diseases. I was able to gain a better understanding of the microscopic world around me. What I have learned is something that I will be thinking about years from now, even in the absence of Covid. A major takeaway from this class for me is how nations across the globe can be better prepared and equipped to take on a virus, like the coronavirus, before it manifests itself in the �human population. In six years I will be graduated from the physician assistant program here at Springfield College. Who knows, maybe I will travel to underdeveloped nations and teach fellow medical professionals how to prepare for pandemics before they emerge, and it will all be thanks to this class. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Last night, I watched an emotional video on Facebook of a father telling the story of how the virus took his 12-year-old son. His son wasn’t infected with the virus, he had taken his life. At the beginning of this, mental health wasn’t the discussion regarding social isolation, people were mainly concerned with their physical health and safety. People who never knew they were struggling may be affected. We haven’t experienced anything like this before and that can bring up unseen emotions and thoughts. Humans live by social interaction, we could not survive without it. I am lucky enough to be under the same roof as my family during the quarantine. I feel for the people who are all alone right now, do not have a roof over their head or have a family to be with, and the people who have lost their job. Today I met a wholesome elderly woman. I started working for a service called Instacart where I buy groceries for people who cannot get exposed to the virus. When I dropped off the groceries, she came outside to check everything and say hi. She was excited to see me and because it was a beautiful day out, so she could work on her garden outside. This virus is mainly killing the elderly and this interaction reminded me of how special this group of people is to humanity. They are the wisest people on earth and are typically so grateful for every small thing. Something I constantly hear is how this virus is “only killing old people, so it’s not as bad”. Yet some don’t even realize how special and important this group of people is. Almost every day now, I see a post on Instagram or Facebook about the loss of someone 65 and older. Our grandparents are dying. We have come too far with modern medicine to just be okay with a whole population being killed off. Wherever I go, mask on. Almost everyone around me has one on. If you don’t wear a mask inside a public area, you run the risk of being harassed or getting into a fight over it. When 1 �Awareness and Pandemic Experiences I first started working for Instacart, I went to a local Big Y grocery store and ended up spending hours there because I was not used to the new job and I had picked up a large order. This was my first experience wearing a mask. I discovered that wearing a mask increases the likelihood of experiencing anxiety because you cannot take deep breaths in. I wouldn’t call myself someone with an anxiety disorder, but I tend to freak out a lot under pressure or when things aren’t going right. I found myself short of breath and frankly almost passed out. An increase in anxiety ultimately suppresses the immune system too. Are we still unaware? When I’m walking past someone in a store or see someone I know, I usually smile at them as a way of greeting them and being friendly. When I am in the grocery store, I find that I still smile at everyone I pass by because I do it naturally, but I forget that they cannot see beneath the mask. Certain human connections are unavailable at this time. We have Zoom. Our classes are conducted on zoom and our social interactions. I am so grateful that we live in the generation of technology and we were able to finish up our classes, instead of missing a full semester. I’m grateful that we have FaceTime and texting, so friends and family can stay connected in some form. We can still check in on each other and get a few laughs in. Let me tell you, it gets a little old living in the same house as your family for months with nowhere to go! We are so fortunate to have these resources; however, no matter how much work professors put into lesson plans, it will still never be the same. When you are in a real class or having a conversation with someone in person, you cannot see yourself, just the person you have your attention on. With Zoom, you can see your video, your classmates’ video, and your professor, so maybe you’re not always focusing on what you normally would if you were just sitting in a classroom. The interaction aspect of zoom is not the same as well. We do not have a true face-to-face connection. One thing I have noticed when I do group zoom calls with my 2 �Awareness and Pandemic Experiences friends or my teammates is there is no such thing as a side conversation. When you’re in a big group of people, it is typical to see side conversation before an activity has begun and that is how you build a personal connection with people. We may not find that again for a while. No matter how much we look into the statistics of this and try to predict what will happen next, it is impossible to predict the future entirely. Many public health officials knew that we wouldn’t be prepared for the next pandemic, America didn’t have the support it needed. I constantly find myself making plans for “whenever this is all over” and looking forward to the fall semester and my favorite running season, cross country, but I do not know when the end will be. There may not even be a true “end” because there is no guarantee that we find a safe and effective vaccine or that the disease will be eradicated. I think it is comforting to hold onto hope and be excited about the future, but no one truly knows the timeline. The last “normal” week we had was midterms week. Everyone was looking forward to spring break and their vacation plans. I remember the flow of that week perfectly. In the beginning, COVID-19 wasn’t a huge fear. As the days went by, the NCAA started canceling sports seasons and the emotions heightened. The seniors didn’t get to finish out their athletic careers; there were many tears. Colleges began to declare going online and having extended spring breaks. On that Thursday night, friends got together and stayed up late. We had our last moments together for the semester and didn’t even know it. Everything was very uncertain that night. We cried, and we laughed. Then, we hugged goodbye. I have truly learned to never take any moment, any opportunity, or any friendship for granted because I learned the hard way, you never know when it will be gone. 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document I am writing this in May, mental health awareness month….and we should be aware. Last night, I watched an emotional video on Facebook of a father telling the story of how the virus took his 12-year-old son. His son wasn’t infected with the virus, he had taken his life. At the beginning of this, mental health wasn’t the discussion regarding social isolation, people were mainly concerned with their physical health and safety. People who never knew they were struggling may be affected. We haven’t experienced anything like this before and that can bring up unseen emotions and thoughts. Humans live by social interaction, we could not survive without it. I am lucky enough to be under the same roof as my family during the quarantine. I feel for the people who are all alone right now, do not have a roof over their head or have a family to be with, and the people who have lost their job. Today I met a wholesome elderly woman. I started working for a service called Instacart where I buy groceries for people who cannot get exposed to the virus. When I dropped off the groceries, she came outside to check everything and say hi. She was excited to see me and because it was a beautiful day out, so she could work on her garden outside. This virus is mainly killing the elderly and this interaction reminded me of how special this group of people is to humanity. They are the wisest people on earth and are typically so grateful for every small thing. Something I constantly hear is how this virus is “only killing old people, so it’s not as bad”. Yet some don’t even realize how special and important this group of people is. Almost every day now, I see a post on Instagram or Facebook about the loss of someone 65 and older. Our grandparents are dying. We have come too far with modern medicine to just be okay with a whole population being killed off. Wherever I go, mask on. Almost everyone around me has one on. If you don’t wear a mask inside a public area, you run the risk of being harassed or getting into a fight over it. When I first started working for Instacart, I went to a local Big Y grocery store and ended up spending hours there because I was not used to the new job and I had picked up a large order. This was my first experience wearing a mask. I discovered that wearing a mask increases the likelihood of experiencing anxiety because you cannot take deep breaths in. I wouldn’t call myself someone with an anxiety disorder, but I tend to freak out a lot under pressure or when things aren’t going right. I found myself short of breath and frankly almost passed out. An increase in anxiety ultimately suppresses the immune system too. Are we still unaware? When I’m walking past someone in a store or see someone I know, I usually smile at them as a way of greeting them and being friendly. When I am in the grocery store, I find that I still smile at everyone I pass by because I do it naturally, but I forget that they cannot see beneath the mask. Certain human connections are unavailable at this time. We have Zoom. Our classes are conducted on zoom and our social interactions. I am so grateful that we live in the generation of technology and we were able to finish up our classes, instead of missing a full semester. I’m grateful that we have FaceTime and texting, so friends and family can stay connected in some form. We can still check in on each other and get a few laughs in. Let me tell you, it gets a little old living in the same house as your family for months with nowhere to go! We are so fortunate to have these resources; however, no matter how much work professors put into lesson plans, it will still never be the same. When you are in a real class or having a conversation with someone in person, you cannot see yourself, just the person you have your attention on. With Zoom, you can see your video, your classmates’ video, and your professor, so maybe you’re not always focusing on what you normally would if you were just sitting in a classroom. The interaction aspect of zoom is not the same as well. We do not have a true face-to-face connection. One thing I have noticed when I do group zoom calls with my friends or my teammates is there is no such thing as a side conversation. When you’re in a big group of people, it is typical to see side conversation before an activity has begun and that is how you build a personal connection with people. We may not find that again for a while. No matter how much we look into the statistics of this and try to predict what will happen next, it is impossible to predict the future entirely. Many public health officials knew that we wouldn’t be prepared for the next pandemic, America didn’t have the support it needed.

BroadStreet provides public good tools that allow professionals to spend their time and resources on improving community health. BroadStreet’s COVID-19 Data Project is a collaboration of approximately 200 students, statisticians, epidemiologists, healthcare experts, data scientists and other passionate professionals who are committed to having the most accurate, community level data about the COVID-19 positive tests and fatality rates. We have been humbled by the outpouring of support, especially from the collegiate community. We know that right now students have a unique set of challenges trying to navigate these difficult times, maintaining their studies, most who are away from home and while adapting to their new normal. Despite this, we wanted to recognize your students who have graciously donated their time and talent to our project. You can learn more about BroadStreet here: ​https://learn.broadstreet.io You can see the data your students help collect here: ​http://covid19dataproject.org Below is a list of the students who have participated by tracking historical data, collecting daily data, as well participating in special interest team projects that include computer based automation, data visualization, infectious disease, policy, social media and fundraising. We know that during this time, good news can be more meaningful than ever, and we welcome you to share these student’s participation in any department or college-wide publications or emailing’s.

Because of expert medical advice, we distance ourselves from each other. Even close relatives or friends won't join us for Easter Dinner. We will miss them. We won't even go to Church physically. Yet, we do have some opportunities to worship on-line. (See below.) We had hopes for Lent. For the Semester. For Spring. Some of us could be anxious about the summer. Perhaps, with reason. What will happen to our plans? For, we had hoped that... Even, on the first Easter morning, the disciples are told not to be afraid. They are advised to "back to Galilee" and He will see them there. Galilee is "code" for where and when they first met Jesus. They head to Galilee.They understand Jesus' challenge to reflect on what about Jesus catches their imagination. As we also reflect on our "Galilee", what is about Jesus that first attracted us to Him? For me, I am always moved that He accepts people; He doesn't judge people. Pope Francis leads us in prayer: "Lord, you don't want us to be afraid. You, Lord will not leave us at the mercy of the storm. Together, with Peter, we 'cast our anxieties on to you, for you care about us.'" (1 Peter 5:7) Don't be afraid to tell Jesus our worries. About the pandemic. About everything. We long to meet Him again when and where he first caught our imagination. Our Galilee. Can you hear Him call your name, again? What does He say to you? An unknown artist (to me) captures compassionate and competent medical personnel attending to another victim of the global pandemic, a modern day Jesus. �In this tapestry below, Raphael presents the power of the Risen Jesus conquering evil, death - and giving us hope. The Risen Jesus, says "Peace. Don't be afraid." And, tell the others we will meet up in Galilee where we first met. Jesus tells us to hope. Where do you think you would be able to hope again this Easter?

Title A name given to the resource Colleges Against COVID-19 Description An account of the resource Management students at Providence College created a two-minute video — featuring their classmates and friends from colleges across the country — to encourage young adults to take seriously warnings about the coronavirus. This video was posted on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Everyone’s life has drastically changed since the world entered a pandemic from COVID-19. The things every college student took for granted like athletics, graduation, in person classes, and dinner in dining hall was suddenly all taken away from us. This video is a message from college students to college students expressing the importance of practicing social distancing. Practicing social distancing is something that can save a person who is more susceptible to disease than you are. We are staying home to save the lives of our parents and grandparents. This time is something no one has ever experiences before and it is hard for young adults to accept since they feel they are wasting away their college time. I think it is important to preserve this video because it expresses the unity of college students everyone coming together during this pandemic. I would want someone to notice the transition from the beginning of this video of the college boy saying nothing is going to stop him from partying to the rest of the video of college kids expressing the importance of staying home to help flatten the curve of COVID-19 deaths.

Your entire life everybody always hypes up the excitement of senior year. You hear about all the fun stories from prom and graduation. Everybody tells you to enjoy it while it lasts because it’ll be over before you know it. I was doing exactly that, the start of the year was going just how I expected it to be. I was enjoying my senior year, taking super easy classes, and soaking up every last moment of childhood. Sadly, due to the pandemic and other reasons, 2020 has been an extremely tough year and has thrown so much at me. At the end of February my uncle unexpectedly lost his battle with cancer, leaving behind my aunt and his 11 and 13 year old daughters. He was only 49. My cousins are the sweetest and most intelligent little girls ever and they did not deserve to lose their father. About a week or so after he passed away, my family and I flew to Switzerland for the funeral. We wanted to comfort my cousins so badly and grieve with them, but they hate being the center of attention. With how overwhelming everything was, all they wanted was some sense of normalcy during this incredibly sad time. They are so disciplined that they chose to still go to school that week. Seeing my cousins spread their father's ashes into his grave was easily one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. Something they should never have had to do at such a young age. I remember seeing them grasp onto my aunt as she cried. I was so proud to see how strong and supportive they were. I check in with my cousins as often as I can, but the time difference makes it very difficult. As we were at the airport for our flight back home, I remember seeing some people wearing masks and stubbornly thinking that they were being paranoid for no reason. Little did I know, one week later the world would shutdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. �2 Leading up to March I had been working my ass off for so many months in preparation for my senior volleyball season. My junior year we lost in the regional championship and lost most of our roster to graduation. I stepped up and was fully prepared to lead my team to another shot at winning a regional championship—my life revolved around it. March 12th was the first practice of my senior season. I didn’t know it then, but that day was also the last practice of my high school volleyball career. Schools all across the country temporarily postponed in-person classes as a precautionary measure. At first, it was just supposed to be three weeks, then three weeks turned into just until the end of April and then my high school called the year. No senior season. No regional championship. No prom. No real graduation. I have trouble putting words together to describe how devastated I was. I felt like every ounce of effort I put in towards volleyball went to literally nothing. I’ve never worked so hard for something in my life, not even remotely close. Missing out on my senior season is something I will never get over. I am lucky enough to be playing in college but I would trade anything to get that senior season back. After finding out there was no chance of me having a senior season, I had no motivation to do anything and I don’t think I smiled for weeks. On May 3rd, my mom came into my room and woke me up around 7:30am which was way earlier than I intended on waking up. She told me that one of my best friends' mom unexpectedly died from cardiac arrest. I was completely blindsided by this news and knew I had to help him. My friend ended up living with me for a week until his siblings could find somewhere for him to live. He, like many kids from my town, grew up in single parent homes in extreme poverty and have no one helping them stay on track. It was really stressful having him live with my family right after his mom passed away, because we wanted to make sure we were doing everything to help him in that unimaginable situation. Losing my senior season was still so fresh and painful but during that week my problems became �3 so much less important than what he was going through. Some things are much bigger than sports, but without sports I would have never met him and would not have been able to help him. Part of me feels like I still haven’t closed the high school chapter of my life yet. I should have gotten the opportunity to showcase all of my hard work on the volleyball court for my senior season. I should have gotten the opportunity to take my girlfriend to prom. I should have gotten the opportunity to walk across the stage and get my diploma in front of my parents. It pains me to think about all the other little memories that I missed out on. The craziest part about how badly this year has gone is that 2020 is not over and it could get even worse. Thinking back to my early memories of 2020 literally feels like ages ago. I have high hopes that 2020 will get better and the good will outweigh the bad. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In the Spring Semester of my current year, 2020, as we were going on spring break, the COVID-19 crisis started to pick up way heavier than it did before. Current President Mary Beth Cooper announced to all students Wednesday, March 11th that we would be having an extended spring break due to the circumstances of the pandemic. In the announcement, if there would be further action taken on this pandemic (like closing), she would send out an email during spring break to inform students and faculty as so. On the last day of campus, March 13th, everyone on campus had a feeling that we were going to shut down for the semester. Packing to go home was a very sad experience, but also very concerning and confusing one. As students, we were unaware if we were coming back or not, so there was an underlying question as to how much stuff to bring back to our house and what we should leave back in the dorm room. Eventually leaving, we later found out spring break week that we would be moving virtually/online permanently for the rest of the spring semester. As teachers started to prepare for online learning, I was preparing to restart a previous job at the Shoprite of Croton, located in Croton-On-Hudson, New York. Now, this is Westchester county which is a hotbed for COVID19. The experience of online schooling, work and caring for my family, specifically mom is definitely a fascinating one. First, seeing how grocery stores have changed during this time is crazy. There are lines mostly everyday to enter the store that are long, limiting the amount of �people in and out. Workers direct you as to what register to go to in order to check out your groceries, as well as coupons, customer service and returns being postponed. Direction flow for the aisles in the store is located on the floor, directing customers the correct way to go (although no one listens to it). As classes switched online, only one class requires weekly meetings while the others either don’t meet online, or meeting online is optional. All work is submitted by a deadline, however in circumstances teachers will give extensions. This was seen first hand by me as well, as my mother was being tested for the virus for about a week. She had shortness of breath one day, went to urgent care and they tested her. As she was being what we call during this time “quarantined”, I was taking care of her, getting the groceries, going to the bank and much more. Luckily the test results for COVID-19 came out negative, however still to be safe I remain taking care of her. School, work, and taking care of my mom gives me a great balance during this time. Honestly, without work, school and taking care of family, I would be sitting around doing nothing all day, which pains me to say. This experience is very benefical and has opened my eyes to alot more of the world around me. Your average workers, such as grocery store workers or retail workers are now way more appreciated than they have been before. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This will help future researchers further their knowledge of the COVID-19 crisis, as well as see another perspective from a working-student point of view in a hotbed state for COVID-19. I hope that this allows viewers to understand the circumstances of the COVID-19 and how it affected many lives and public places, and how people really had to adjust despite it being very hard to do so.

I remember starting my first spring semester at Springfield College in January 2020, and people began to discuss the virus. However, at this point, everyone more or less believed it would stay in China, and no one really took it seriously or thought much of it. We all just went about our daily lives. When living on a college campus, it’s difficult to keep up with the news unless you make an active effort to. Almost all of my news about the virus was coming from Instagram, and most of the posts were memes. The majority of us didn’t take this seriously until March approached. There were cases in the United States, and rumors of a lockdown. With campuses shutting down across the country, it seemed that Springfield College was next. That became official during a large meeting in the Dodge Room on the second floor of the Union. It felt like the entire student body attended this meeting, with all of us anxious to find out the fate of our semester. It was ironic to hear President Cooper talk about how the virus spreads easily when we were all cramped in this room. Students were sharing seats and many were in the back of the room standing. I was ignorantly happy when I found out that we would be getting an extra week of spring break. I thought I’d get an extra week at home with my family, and then I would be able to come back to finish my semester. No one could have predicted what was to come. Explaining this pandemic is challenging. I believe it means something different for everyone. For some, it meant finally having some extra time to workout, spend time with their family, start a new hobby such as baking, watch Tiger King, or practice self-care. However, for others, it meant loneliness and sadness being isolated from loved ones. Many lost members of their families, some not even having the opportunity to say goodbye. People lost their jobs and �businesses. For me, the pandemic meant many things. I was lucky enough to be one of the people who started working out and took up baking. Although my sadness wasn’t as severe as those who had monumental losses, there were still challenging times. It was hard not seeing my friends and my boyfriend. Long distance relationships are hard enough without a global pandemic going on. For everyone, the pandemic meant adjusting and adapting to a new normal. Students all across the country had to start using Zoom and other similar platforms to get their education. Everyone had to get used to seeing loved ones living outside of their household on a phone or computer screen. While the pandemic may not have tragically affected everyone, I guarantee that everyone was affected in some way and had to adapt to a new lifestyle. There is so much gravity to this pandemic: no matter how much you try to ignore it, as many do, it’s real, and it takes a toll on everyone sometimes. When I signed up for a Human Disease colloquium in spring 2020, I had no idea how relevant it would be to today’s world. The first book we read for this class was ​COVID-19: The Pandemic that Never Should Have Happened, and How to Stop the Next One​. There were times when living on campus was stressful and confusing, so it was nice to come to class every week and not only discuss the book, but also what was happening on campus and around the country. One of the most valuable things I learned is the importance of listening to scientists and epidemiologists. The world was extremely underprepared for a coronavirus pandemic despite epidemiologists saying since the SARS outbreak of 2002 that evidence pointed to a coronavirus surfacing. Scientists have been warning for decades that this was going to happen, and if government officials around the world would have listened, COVID-19 likely would have been much less severe. Reading this book helped me realize that more needs to be done in terms of �preparing for all different kinds of viruses. Experts warned about lack of preparation, and the few countries that did have pandemic plans focused solely on the flu when there are so many other viruses, such as coronaviruses, that can and will emerge and put individuals in danger. Even with these plans in place, many countries failed to stockpile or acquire even the most basic essentials required to make the plans work. If a worldwide pandemic does not inspire future preparedness, I don’t know what will. Something needs to be done because the effects could be catastrophic if we do exactly what has been done in the past. I gained so much knowledge taking this class, and all I can do is take what I have learned and try to educate those around me and hope that countries will start taking pandemic precautions sooner rather than later. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource CVS SVP Voicemail to Colleagues Description An account of the resource This was a telephone voice message from Emmanuel Kolady Senior Vice President of Eastern US CVS stores sent out to CVS colleagues reminding them of the measures being implicated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The senior vice president begins by addressing their actions to provide personal protection for colleagues. On top of the installation of plexiglass barriers at check out, UPS shipments of hands sanitizer, lysol wipes, and masks were sent in by CVS headquarters for colleague usage. Next, Kolady goes on to speak of the sick time put in place. For the first time, part-time employees are now being offered 24 hours of paid leave. If a colleague has a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher at the onset of their shift, they are allotted 72 hours of leave. Lastly, CVS began offering financial support to colleagues who need extended measures. Those who struggle with childcare are given an additional $100 per day to put towards daycare as well as a relief fund being put in place for those seeking additional financial resources given the circumstances.

However, working at an "essential business" during the pandemic allowed me to experience the many new regulations that continue to change the norms of every day life. On top of the changes addressed in this voicemail my city of employment, Chicopee, continued to implement more regulations to prevent the spread of the virus such as limits on purchases, regulation of what was being sold, reduced capacities of store, and reduced store hours. This calm, reassuring message displays a much different tone than what was experienced in the moment at these essential businesses. The urgency for personal protection led to expedited packages being shipped in multiple times a week in mass quantities rather than once a week yet there still remained a shortage all over the nation. Remaining open caused colleagues to adapt to new policy changes taking place almost each shift. It is questionable if some of the regulations such a plexiglass dividers will ever be lifted. The changes made during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to change the every day regularities we all once experienced and that is emphasized in this file.

The month I was looking forward to this year. It’s when classes ended, spring began, and my birthday came. But I guess all my plans went down the drain. This isn’t your typical “what happened to you during the coronavirus pandemic” paper; I guess I am different. Unlike most of the students here, I am a commuter and a local. I couldn’t get away from what was happening around Springfield, instead, I was submerged deep into it. I am currently a junior in the Health Science major, so for me, this pandemic is a wonderful, yet terrible learning experience. My professors all took this opportunity to implement what we were learning in the current situation. As neighboring colleges decided to go online, I dreaded Springfield College doing so as well. I couldn’t get away from home, at the end of the day, I went home to my bed and slept, so school was the only other place I’d be. You’d find me in the learning commons or the Union the most. For me, it was my haven away from home, a place I could be alone and not controlled. But that too was taken away from me by the coronavirus. Having to stay home and remained home is hard for me. I share a room with my younger sister and for both of us to try to school and share a room was simply impossible. It appears I might just fail this semester. I felt all my efforts disappear and my determination with it. Going online felt impossible with my course load. All my labs online, and language class online, how was I going to do this? On top of this, my parents didn’t understand that I was supposed to be in “school-mode” not “home-mode”. There was no clean line that separated the two mindsets. For them, I was just home 24/7 and was able to answer all their calls. It was a hard switch online, to �have to keep motivated and determined to complete the semester. On top of this, most of my teachers were new to our Brightspace system, thus going online was new to both of us. Towards our finals, my brother was the one who gave me my determination once again. My brother is currently a patient care technician at Baystate Medical Center here in Springfield and a part-time student at Springfield Technical Community College. When the pandemic started to get worse, my brother was pushed deeper into the hospital and had to treat COVID-19 positive and negative patients. On top of this, he was keeping up with his course work online and keeping safe from the virus. His constant push in the hospital and at school inspired me to push through school and finish on a big note. Being home was different now. My parents always tried to teach me something I had already known and understood. They would tell me something different about the pandemic and when I try to tell them otherwise, they tell me no and that I’m wrong. Last time I checked; I am the one getting a degree in this. With this constant attitude for the last couple of months, I grew an extra skin and pride in my major. Therefore, I wanted to go into health sciences, because of no matter if the world was ending, public health and health care are always there. The world did an amazing job responding, especially Vietnam. And yes, I am Vietnamese-American, so I am extremely proud. However less proud of how the U.S. handled itself in this situation. I felt more anger run through my body as I watched the news and protesters go on and on. How could you fail humankind in such a time of need, where selfishness is out in the open? I hope this pandemic can teach our government officials a lesson and the citizens as well. There is no one way of doing things and everyone is missing information or are too ignorant to except anything other than what they think is right. �This pandemic gave people a reason to point fingers and blame others. It gave people a reason to be ignorant and selfish. It revealed the problems the United States had with their response to this virus or the lack of response. It also revealed to me who I was as a person, where my haven was, and just how much I missed being able to have books surrounding me while I do my homework. I know that I have taken school for granted. The coronavirus pandemic became our new normality for the time being, and that changed is needed to be done before we can go back to the old days. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The College is actively monitoring the situation. It is important to note that ​Massachusetts continues to be considered low risk​ and ​there are currently no identified cases of this coronavirus in New England​. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has confirmed five cases of the coronavirus in the U.S. – one in Arizona, two in California, one in Washington state, and one in Illinois. We know that a student at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT was monitored over the weekend for the virus and tested negative. The student had recently traveled through an airport that had a confirmed case of the virus and complained of a fever and cough. The CDC continues to monitor and provide recommendations regarding the virus, a respiratory infection spread through cough and sneeze droplets. It is not airborne. Symptoms include fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and shortness of breath. If you are showing signs of any of these symptoms and have recently traveled to Wuhan City, China (within last 14 days) or have come in contact with an individual who had confirmed 2019-nCOv, you should seek immediate medical attention. Additional information about 2019-nCOv can be found at the ​CDC​. Among the recommendations of our Health Center for preventing transmission of this virus or any other virus including the common cold and influenza (which have similar symptoms to the coronavirus) are: · Regularly wash hands with soap and warm water or use an alcohol-based sanitizer · Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue into the trash · Avoid close contact with people who are sick · Stay home when you are sick · Do not share drinks or utensils · Avoid intimate contact, including kissing and hugging · Call the Health Center for an appointment to be evaluated if sick (413-748-3175) · Obtain a flu shot if you have not already done so (available at the Health Center) The Health Center can assist with any additional questions or concerns. The Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. It is recommended to call for an appointment at 413-748-3175. For after-hour emergencies, contact Public Safety: 413-748-5555. Sincerely, Dr. Patrick Love Vice President for Student Affairs 3/3/20: Message from Mary-Beth Cooper, President of Springfield College �Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff, The health and safety of our students is the College's highest priority. In response to news of a number of Novel Coronavirus (now called CoVid19) cases in Italy, Springfield College, in conjunction with our partners, has suspended study abroad programs in that country and withdrew all of our 15 students from Italy. All students have made plans to return home over the next few days where they will reunite with their families and finish out the semester. Our Italian academic partners have made arrangements for students to continue their courses remotely. Springfield College will work with students to minimize the academic impact of this transition. Any questions or concerns about academic progress should be directed to Mary Ann Coughlin, Senior Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. Even though our students in Italy were not located in areas highly impacted by the virus, we recognize that this is a rapidly evolving situation. The decision was made in line with safety protocol established by our administration and best practices in international education. The health, safety and well-being of our students is our utmost priority. In line with the recommendations of health authorities, students are being instructed to self-monitor for possible flu-like symptoms and not visit campus for a period of 14 days. This afternoon, the Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Health advised all colleges and universities in the state to suspend college-sponsored international travel. Therefore, we are abiding and are suspending our college-sponsored international travel at this time. The College continues to closely monitor the spread of the virus and its potential impact on the campus as well as on countries where Springfield College students, staff, and faculty are visiting or are planning to visit. As this is an evolving situation, the College will continue to provide updates if there are any additional significant changes that may impact the Springfield College community. In the meantime, stay informed through the​ ​CDC’s website​ and await further guidance on prevention from our Health Center. Sincerely, Mary-Beth A. Cooper 3/9/20: Message from Mary-Beth Cooper, President of Springfield College �Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff: The College’s administrative leadership team has been monitoring the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. The health, safety, and well-being of our community remains our top priority. We have two groups of staff and faculty working together to address this unique situation. We are in contact with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and are following guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as well as the World Health Organization (WHO). I want to assure you that​ contingency planning is well underway. ​Based on developments across the country and internationally, we are implementing new policies regarding travel and campus events, all designed to protect our community as a whole.​ All decisions are subject to change as the situation develops, so ​we will update the community regularly to keep you informed. All communications and resources related to the coronavirus are available on our website at http://springfield.edu/coronavirus​. This remains the best place to locate Springfield College-related information and resources regarding the coronavirus. Additionally, f​or the latest general updates on the coronavirus, please visit the ​Centers for Disease Control website. Travel Information Faculty and staff are asked to suspend the booking of any domestic or international travel utilizing public transportation (e.g., airlines, buses, trains) until further notice, except for essential College-related travel as determined by the President. If you are unsure whether your travel falls into the essential category, please email your question to studentaffairs@springfield.edu. Further, all faculty and staff must register any authorized college-related travel occurring now through commencement (domestic and international). Please note that faculty and staff are restricted from college-related travel to Level III countries. Please monitor the CDC travel website (​www.cdc.gov/travel​) for up-to-date information on the status of countries. We are requesting that faculty, staff, and students register spring break and other personal travel planned for the rest of the semester.​ ​Such a registration process allows us to create a record of where people have been and will help inform public health outbreak tracking efforts should an infection occur on our campus. Please register your travel here: ​https://forms.gle/NT7r9MQitVdfaMWo7​. We strongly encourage campus community members to cancel personal trips to Level II or Level III countries. Events and visitors �We are asking that College sponsors check in with all invited and scheduled visitors and guests to confirm they have not been to a Level III country or been in contact with infected persons within 14 days of visiting our campus. Physical space We are in the process of providing enhanced hygiene and cleaning supplies in each classroom and common areas so that students, staff, and faculty can effectively cover coughs and sneezes and wipe down surfaces before each use. When possible, disinfecting wipes will also be available for wiping down technology that cannot be sprayed. Students who are confirmed cases, where possible, will be sent home to observe a 14-day isolation period. We will provide single rooms for students who may have been exposed to the virus and must self-quarantine on campus (if travel to home is prohibited). Class absences and sick leave All Springfield College community members should practice CDC recommended hygiene and self-care practices. Students, faculty, and staff should not come to campus or attend class when they are sick (especially if they are coughing, sneezing, or have a fever), or if they are caring for someone who is sick. Faculty should not penalize students for missing class due to illness. Students will coordinate with their instructors to keep current with coursework and assignments, and instructors should extend due dates as necessary for students who are ill. Students who are not attending class due to illness will inform the Student Affairs Office (studentaffairs@springfield.edu) of their symptoms and will be encouraged to self-quarantine at home, or may request a reassigned room if they are unable to return home for the duration of their illness. Students, staff, and faculty who are present in class or at work will be presumed healthy. Academics The Provost’s Office will communicate with faculty about the Academic Affairs Emergency Preparedness and Recovery Plan. This plan primarily addresses contingencies for the suspension of on campus operations for periods of up to two weeks, with some strategies for addressing longer evacuation periods. If needed, faculty will be provided with additional information and technical support. I appreciate the work of the faculty and staff who have assisted with our on-going response to the many issues which are associated with this complex and evolving situation. Please continue to monitor the website at ​www.springfield.edu/coronavirus​ for updates as they occur. �Additionally, I will be holding a forum on Wednesday night, March 11, 2020, at 8:00 p.m. in Dodge A-F for those community members who would like to attend. Best, Mary-Beth Cooper �3/17/20: Message from Mary-Beth Cooper, President of Springfield College Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff, Today, I have made the difficult decision that Springfield College is moving classes online for the remainder of the semester amid the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. This decision was made thoughtfully and with an abundance of caution and concern for the health and safety of our Community. I understand that this is disappointing for all of us, but our highest priority is charting a response to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 threat, while maintaining academic continuity and integrity and safeguarding our students’ ability to finish the semester in accordance with all required standards related to federal financial assistance. We will continue to implement our on-going comprehensive transition to distance education. After the two-week extended Spring Break, spring semester classes will resume on Monday, March 30, conducted fully online, and will continue through the final exams period, which ends on Tuesday, May 12, 2020. While no decision has been made as of today regarding Commencement activities, we are exploring options. A decision will be announced as the situation develops. Students We understand students will still have many questions about how they will be supported in a fully online learning environment. Please know we are working to tailor our instruction and services to ensure that all students will be able to be successful. Resident Students Students will be able to collect the remainder of their belongings and clean out their campus residences. The move-out for residents will be conducted through a staggered schedule. Further information will be available later today. Please note: The moving out of belongings is NOT mandatory at this time. An additional time period for those who do not wish to come to campus during this scheduled move-out period will be established later. Faculty Faculty will continue to receive support for transitioning their teaching to online. Those who need support should reach out to the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship. The office of �Academic Affairs, Deans and Department chairs, along with Faculty Senate are working together on other key transition issues and new information for faculty will continue to be provided and posted on the Academic Affairs website. Employees All staff and faculty have received comprehensive communications from their supervisors and human resources regarding telecommuting, recording time, and opportunities for professional development. Employees with questions about work assignments or expectations should check with their supervisors who are developing work plans in coordination with their division heads. All employees are encouraged to continue social distancing to the extent possible. We know this brings great disappointment to many of us, especially our seniors, who were holding on to hope that we could all come back to campus to finish up the year. However, we believe it is the right decision at this time. Best, Mary-Beth A. Cooper Springfield College President �3/23/20: Message from Mary-Beth Cooper, President of Springfield College Dear Members of the Springfield College Community, I am so proud of how we have come together as a community by demonstrating our continued commitment to our Humanics philosophy in everything we do. I am grateful for the extra effort to ensure that our students have the best possible experience in these unprecedented times. The move out of our resident students continued according to plan over the weekend. Our thanks again to our Department of Public Safety staff, Office of Facilities Management staff, and Office of Housing and Residence Life staff for their efforts as well as to our students and families for their understanding of this necessary process that none of us anticipated. Our faculty continue this week to prepare for online instruction and virtual learning that will begin March 30 and continue for the remainder of the spring semester. Over the weekend, our Physician Assistant program staff delivered supplies on behalf of the College to several local hospitals who had reached out to us for help, including the board chair of one local hospital who contacted me directly, finding themselves in critical short supply of gloves, masks, and sanitizers. After first assuring our own health center has the supplies it currently needs, our staff members quickly responded to a need in our community in true Humanics form. Today, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker issued an executive order closing all non-essential businesses and advising residents to telecommute as they are able, as well as limiting access to public venues for essential activities only. In compliance with the Governor’s order, our staff will continue to work at home with the exception of those designated by the order for the essential functions of the College. I hope this message finds you well. For more information on the College’s response and Q&As, please regularly visit ​springfield.edu/coronavirus​. Best, Mary-Beth A.

Title A name given to the resource History 106 Class Description An account of the resource This collection includes items submitted by students in Prof. Ian Delahanty's class HIST 106: The Civil War to Modern America. The class was taught in the spring 2020 semester; three sections of the class totaling 66 students contributed to this collection. Students were given an assignment in which they 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 Emails from Springfield College as progression of COVID-19 takes place Description An account of the resource The document consists of five separate emails sent from the time frame of 1/29/20 through 3/23/20. The first, sent from Patrick Love, VP of Student Affairs, was the very first message students received about being cautious of COVID-19. The next four emails, all sent in March, document the rapidly evolving situation the college was faced with.

It started off with a general warning, perhaps not even a warning, but an informative email about a situation unfolding in the world. Fast forward a little over a month later, and the college starts having to make some big decisions that directly impact its students. A month later, education is fully online. These emails, and the time frame they convey, indicate the rapid nature by which the college was forced to react to the COVID-19 pandemic. I would hope that people looking at this document in the future would recognize the tone of the emails, and the way that our President handled the situation. She has been absolutely great throughout this whole crisis, and though she is having to deal with the weight of some unbelievably heavy decisions for the greater good of the community, she has done it with grace and with comforting words for the students that are being impacted the most. President Cooper's heart aches for the students, and that shows not only through her words, but her actions as well.
