COVID-19 and the Student Experience Project

As part of a project running 2020-2021, we invite all students to contribute materials to a Digital Collection that will be preserved locally. Our goal is to collect and document the stories and experiences of Lakehead University students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. These first-hand experiences will not only be of significant value to future researchers studying these times, they will also preserve and make accessible the lived experiences of our community members. Examples of possible content include, but are not limited to: - Images: photographs, artwork  - Audio files: songs, voice recordings - Videos: video recordings, gifs, moving images - Journals: diaries, written stories and messages  - Files: posters, community notices, emails  Submission Guidelines: - Content must be related to the COVID-19 pandemic - Content must be submitted by a Lakehead University student For more information about this project, please email us. Submission forms will be available soon.
