In March, we asked Clark alumni to share their stories of living in the age of COVID-19 so we could publish them in the alumni magazine. They responded with personal accounts filled with heartache and hope, humor and resolve. Not all those stories arrived in time to make it into the print issue, but we are honored to publish them in a digital format along with expanded versions of some of the magazine stories.<\/p>\n
We heard from a teacher who told us what it’s like to educate middle schoolers in that checkerboard-square classroom known as a Zoom call.<\/p>\n
We learned from other alums about the experience of becoming home-schoolers to their young children, and the pressures of balancing family and work in COVID-forced confinement.<\/p>\n
A member of the Class of 1970, a psychotherapist, wrote of the distinct challenges of counseling patients online at a time when their anxiety levels were peaking.<\/p>\n
Alumni reached out from Beijing, Mallorca, Hong Kong, and New York, which, in March, stood at the epicenter of the crisis. The virus is now bullying other parts of the country, and Clark alumni living in those areas are experiencing the worst of it.\n<\/p>\n
