Following more than a year of lockdowns, mask-wearing and social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the �鶹��Ƶ community will have the opportunity to reflect on a challenging year.

The �鶹��Ƶ Innovation Council is calling on �鶹��Ƶ students, faculty and staff to share the lessons they’ve learned during the pandemic, as well as their hopes for a brighter future, at a set of chalk display boards at Young Commons. Anyone in the community is welcome to leave messages on the boards every Tuesday through the end of the semester.

“We know this community has learned many important things during this challenging year that we want to take forward as we come back better,” said Caroline Ketcham, �鶹��Ƶ Innovation Council member and professor of exercise science. “We want to hear about what spaces, resources, relationships, activities, and opportunities people found to support their learning and well-being.”

Those who cannot make it to one of the physical boards can leave messages on the virtual board that is available to the campus community .

The �鶹��Ƶ Innovation Council members involved in this project include Ketcham, Haya Ajjan, associate dean of the Love School of Business and Gordon Professor of Entrepreneurship; Danielle Lake, director of design thinking; Sean McMahon, associate professor of entrepreneurship; and Qian Xu, associate professor of strategic communications.
