Introduction

From returning home to remaining on an empty campus to finding shelter in an unfamiliar location, students from Carleton College have undergone various challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, separating them from the traditional educational experience.

We wanted to share these student stories with the public.

Throughout the spring term of 2020, we interviewed over 60 students from Carleton College, collecting as many perspectives as possible. The following exhibit consists of synchronous and asynchronous segments, which are arranged based on the main questions we asked in each interview. 

In the end, the goal of our exhibit is to verbally and visually represent the theme of displacement during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on how physical and emotional separation has affected many Carleton Students. 

Please watch the introduction video for more information about our collection and curation process.  

Hopefully, this exhibit will contribute to the future understanding of educational and personal challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Sincerely, 

 Marcella Lees, Miyuki Mihira, and Clara Posner
