California State University, San Marcos: Department of History

It’s a great pleasure to share the news that our MA student Silvia Ramirez has been recognized with an Honorable Mention in this month’s CHABBS "Voices" Project!! Congratulations, Silvia!! Silvia was the only History student to participate. Her impressive project is an excellent example of blending community connections and research skills with ArcGIS software to present a thoughtful and timely perspective on the student experience during COVID. See her project and the other submissions here https://www.csusm.edu//chabss_voices_life_in_a_pandemic.ht

How has COVID-19 transformed your life? What do you most look forward to when the pandemic passes? How do you think life will change or stay the same when you're no longer sheltering in place? We're seeking writings, photos, artwork, and more from anyone that lives, attends school, or works in North San Diego County. CSUSM is asking you to help the University Library preserve the record of day-to-day living of this critical moment in our nation’s journey as we navigate the CO...VID-19 crisis here in San Diego County. This initiative, called Together/Apart: The COVID-19 Community Memory Archive, invites you to share your experiences during these unprecedented times. Your experiences will be preserved for generations of researchers interested in the day-to-day living of North County San Diegans, including future CSUSM students, staff, and faculty, as well as residents of San Diego County, California, the USA, and the world. https://together-apart.csusm.edu/
