COVID at Goucher

“COVID at Goucher” is an oral history project under the tutelage of Dr. Fletcher aiming to document how the pandemic affected our college community. We are seeking to explore and document the collective perspectives of those whose college experience was significantly shaped and impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic both academically and socially.

This oral history project focuses on the college experience at Goucher and the ways it was affected by the pandemic through interviewing staff, faculty members, administration, and students who were active in Goucher’s community between March 2020 and February 2022. It was decided that now is a good time to gather these accounts, as the memory is still fresh in many people’s minds, but enough time has passed to process the changes that have been made to our communities– both local and global. For these interviews, we have access to some current Goucher students, as well as alumni, staff, administrative members, and faculty.
