The COVID-19 pandemic is a life-changing event for all members of the Manchester Community College community and for the institution itself. Researchers now and in the future will want to know how we responded, what we thought, and what we did during this time. To help the MCC Library preserve this history, we invite students, staff, faculty, and alumni to contribute their reflections on COVID-19’s impact.
Along with our unique experiences, we may share perspectives on topics that include: the shift to remote learning and teaching; being displaced from housing and workplaces; changes in how we study, work, and communicate; the effects of social distancing and self-isolation; job loss; homeschooling; and childcare challenges.
Contributions might take many forms:
-Visual (photographs, art, drawings, graphic images)
-Audio (videos, voice/audio recordings, short films, music)
-Text (essays, poems, journal entries, short stories, social media posts)
Please complete the form below to participate and follow the instructions for sending us digital materials if you have them. Even if you are not ready to contribute materials now, please take a few minutes to fill in the form to let us know you're interested in participating.
