Share Your Setup, Study Buddies, and Creative Connections!
Thanks for Covid-19, we are all adapting to a new world of online courses, social distancing, home situation and more .. we’ve all felt the impact of this new, sometimes scary world.
So, in the spirit of comradery and self-care, we invite you to share your new creative work and home realities. Things like photos of you in your new study space, screenshots of your classes on Zoom, daily walks, animal study buddies, etc. We want to see and share the encouragement that we are all in this together.
Share with us your new setup, coworkers, or creative way to connect! Tag us in your photos on social media (@ISUEconomics), or email them to Lydia or Deb. Let’s pull together and make the best of a non-ideal situation!
Check out submissions here, including Dr. Crespi's new hobby and stockpile of toilet paper! |
