University Archives - Documenting the Simmons University Community's Response to COVID-19

Simmons University Archives is interested in collecting the personal stories, photographs, videos, recordings, and other materials that reflect your experiences during the COVID-19 crisis.

How has life changed for you as a student, as a staff member, or as a member of the faculty? How are you staying connected to the people in your life and to others at Simmons during this period of social/physical distancing? What do you want people in the years to come to understand or know about this time period? In addition to the experiences of students, faculty, and staff, we want to hear from alumni and members of the larger Simmons University community as well.

If you have any questions about this project, please email [email protected]

Take care, stay safe, and we hope to see you on campus again very soon.
