From May 19, 2020, LDC dining hall started a new sanitizing system as shown in the image. A plastic card with a green color on the front and red on the back is put on each table. Students are supposed to use tables with green sided cards and they flip it to the red side as they finish a meal.

Carleton's Human Resources office posted this creative bingo card on their page about remote work during the pandemic, with the caption, "Team building game for video calls." As many people transitioned to remote work, video calls became the new normal and introduced some new norms and issues.

With the sudden transition to remote work (work from home), jokes circulated online of people calling their pets "coworkers." Carleton faculty and staff were invited to submit photos of their new "coworkers," and the images were compiled in this document.
Breakfast of the Quarantine Life at Carleton

This is a picture of a breakfast of the quarantine life on campus. Students can get breakfast every morning between 7:30 am and 10:00 am in Sayles-Hill. There are also options of vegetarian menu, boiled eggs, yogurt, and so on. Every staff wears a mask and serve meals for students in stead of self-serving.

These are photos of a beaver taken near the Lyman Lakes on campus. It's extremely rare to see beavers on campus due to people. However, because of the much fewer number of people on campus, the photographer for the first time came across this small creature in the late afternoon on the way to the Arboretum.

During the spring break and the spring term until May 3rd, only Burton Hall functioned as a dining hall on campus. All the tables were reorganized to keep more than two meters between students while they are having meals.

Most students have already left the campus. It was the first Friday in the spring term. Friday flower became such a "normal" weekly event on campus, but not now. None of the students would expect these flowers on that day, and even students on campus did not expect to see any flowers in Sayles on that day. The flower in every mailbox means love to me. Even though we are not going to see each other for quite a long time, we still love and remember each other. Many people are going through a tough period of time, and these flowers also represent courage, encouraging people to stay strong, cherishing the hope and love to the world.
