Abstract

In March 2020 in response to the Covid 19 pandemic Reed College applied pandemic restrictions to allow for continued academic activity. Posters were hung throughout campus by Reed College facilities to remind students to wash hands, social distance, and wear a mask. Tent classrooms were set up outside of Eliot Hall during the fall 2020 semester. The tents were named after the three elements, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and banners were hung outside.
