Help Preserve CMU’s Pandemic Experiences
To document and preserve the various experiences of the CMU community during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Clarke Historical Library and the Museum of Cultural and Natural History encourage CMU members, students, faculty, and staff, on- and off-campus, to share their documented personal experiences during COVID-19 and contribute them to the Clarke and Museum. When future students, scholars, and researchers seek to understand what it was like at CMU during the pandemic, these materials will provide a first-person account.
