Guided by Julia and John McMorrough, our team of five students sought to translate elements of Taubman College's culture and student experience that would typically take place in the Architecture building, to an on-screen format. The project consists of a series of videos for incoming students who miss the daily in-person exchanges that take place throughout the college - in essence, helping to build a stronger sense of community and connection in the face of social distance. Each student on the team was responsible for creating a portion of these videos with diverse topics and goals ranging from software tutorials to animations offering advice. This work was funded by the Taubman College’s Spatializing Digital Pedagogies Grants offered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
