I was sitting in a room where the discussion centered on anti-semitism. One of those present made the following remark 11 I considerthe jews completely as human beings 11 You see, that man is an anti-semite. He doesnt know i t , but he is. His premise is that he presents an absolute truth as something that subject to dispute. He is like a mathematician who is trying to prove the axiom. That kind of remark is not inaccurate, but it makes a subject of discussion that which has been accepted generally as self-evident. *** In formerly occupied countries looms a danger, especially in the ones that were occupied the longest, like Norway and The Netherlands. It is a historical certainty that a people , overpowered by a usurper after its liberation appears to have been somewhat infected by them. Freedom of the press, an absolute before the war, was being curtailed after the occupation ended. There certainly are ateempts by the government to influence the press. 11 Confidentials II to the editor-in-chief , discussions by unnamed sources outside the normal flow of the news, and especially the press spokesmen in the service of government. All these are not directed towards influ_ ence of the press on the government in its duty to critical review, but just to the opposite. *** �Conflict and cooperation. Conflict is the inescapable fact of life at any time. It ie l'le'if a:ne it we:s i'A y:eaPs gone by , i'A y:ol:lP time in y:ow ;paPents time and g;pam.pa:Pwi.ts tiM , Read the newspaper, turn on radio or television, it is there So, why talk about a conflict that is far in the past, in your grandparents time? You and everyone in your age group did not experience i t . You are living now in this time and that time was so different. Or was it? Were the e~ents of humanconflict different tEfu.n? Or was it the sheer magnitude of that conflict? With 57 million military and civilian casualties and many millions more affected to the depth of their being? That conflict is still the darkest period of this centuri:Dy, if not of all times. It raged worldwide, there was no hiding from it. And it is on a grand scale the most immense tale of power, its abuse, violence, injustice and murder. All aatempts were directed to stamp out freedom as we know it and cherish i t . Ye~ did !'let e*pe:11Pie"Aee it. Shollld yoQ thePefeP ehPug it eff? Your life in freedom , your existence have been made possible because then harder than at any other age, close by and far off 'jJeJc.L ~ fought ~ , many battles against the darkness of totalitarianism , and they were won at an unimag'i'S"le cost in lives I hope that you will understand something, ,me mllj"8e more deeply than ever before , why · · ~ try to bring the reality from that time back. There is always hope that your generation, and you as an individual5may yet learn to help prevent it happening again. Is an individual capable of xaccomplishing anything that might have influence on the course of events of so violent and insidious a nature as was common in that conflict 7 Is not the all pervasive p~~nce of enemy forces and behind it the vile tyranny of a morally rotten political system of such a dimension that to lay low and get along is the better part of wisdom? Is it not smarter to live for one's country and its ideals than to die for it? Espeoi:cially when you are young? Or is the agressive and fanatic political system imposed on entire peoplesand even more hrsxhly upon individuals who stand tall , motivation xenough to arrive at a point where honorable men and women say~ enough. Was there a philosophy or a compelling foresight that could prepare men and women for contingencies which could not reasonably have been foreseen in all its consequences? Does history provide guidance? Crucial crossroads to which people came and had to choose to either act righteously or bow to the inevitable? In a storm cannot a strong tree that stands unbending be broken, while rushes that bend with the wind right themselves after the wind dies down ? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Eighteen hunderd and t,nenty five tinms twentyfour hours there had been an ever 1nL erasing need and desire for freedom, until it finally came about. Victory Europe Day: the enemy gone. But our expectations had been wrong the exhilarating joy of freedom lasted much less than than the lengths of the struggle to obtain i t . And there is what was wrong with us ; the anticipation of continued exhilabion proved to be wrong by the composition of our human nature. No suffering, no privation can be adequately compensated for. We have paid in big bills; but the relief that the adversity has passed away, comes in change only. It appears that the high anticipations of freedom one has nurtured during the privation is part of the joy of its ooming to pass, so that small change must be accepted as adequate compensation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Morris Teles SECRETARY Dated: December 23. 1947 �HOUSE OF Jmsa foORS!IP Special Membership Meeting held at the Occidental Hotel Wednesday, January 21, 1948 J,,.i.,P A special me.mbership meeting of the House of Jew1sb,\was held at the Occidental Hotel on Wednesday, January 21, 1948. More than seventy (70) members were present when President Leo S. Rosen called the meeting to order at 11115 P. M. Because of the lateness of the hour the reading of the minutes were dispensed with. Mr • .llosen reminded the community of the importance of unity among all the members. He reiterated his policy as president of the organization, namely, to seek advice from the membership and to keep everyone infonued regarding the plans and progress of construction. In answer to a petition that had been signed by many members expressing disapproval (among other things) of the plans to install an organ in the House of Jewish l\orship, the chair celled for a vote on the issue. Without a dissenting vote the board of trustees was sustained 1n its decision to have an organ. The chair presented a brief picture of the financial diff iculties confronting the organization, and pointed out that recent develo~ents might hinder further progress. Specifically he mentioned thet only $5,000 was on hand to meet a bill of $25,000 in January, and that obstacles were not inconsiderable. The meeting was adjourned at midnight. Respectfully subarl.tted, Morris Teles, Secretary �HOUSE OF JE\'IISH ViORSHIP Special Board Ueeting at Grossman• s Sunday Morning, April lS, 1948 Gr A svecial Board meeting of the House of Jewish lorship was held at ora:~ ~ri~i~gt1t~0 fiil§Le~P[l11~is1i~a: The meeting was called to The following officers were present: Leo S. tlosen, President Fred Rod.off, Treasurer Korrie Teles, Secretary Trustees present included the following: Abe Ashendorf Sam Lipman Sam Klayf Harold Rosen Also present were the following visi tore and members of the board of trustees of Congregation B1 nai Israel: Harry Fisher Rosenberg Hortense Berman Eli l>mith Milton Steindler Max llax Ashendorf Sadie Grossman Lyle Rogers s. Q. Rosenbert The chairman explained the nature of the financial emergency and asked for advice and financial assistance. The contractors of our building had billed us for $51,000 (above the $1541 000 already paid them to date) for the period ending Karch 31st, 1948. The contractor was unwilling to continue work without some immediate remittance •• air. llosen expressed anxiety lest the contractor cease work and recind the contract. Such a step lllight cost us an additional several thousand dollars, since the present contract is not very profitable to the contractor, and the reopening of negotiations might lead to a situation 1n our disfavor. The rescinding of a contract might cause a cancellation of our surety bond, and would surely not place our community in a pleasant light before our neighbors. Our present needs, the chair continued, are some $7,000 cash and a $65,000 mortgage. Negotiations for the latter were being delayed due to a cloud on our tiUe to the land. 1hile these negotiations proceeded (possibl,for a period of 90 days) our immediate needs were $30,000 in cash .c::i. loans. ()'(' A proposal to borrow $30,000 from the bank on personal signatures was ineffectual when sufficient and qualified endorsers proved unobtainable.

Title A name given to the resource Muskegon/Grand Rapids/Allendale Footage (Part 2), 1979 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grand Valley State University Description An account of the resource Muskegon/Grand Rapids/Allendale Footage Part 2. This is a video in color without audio. There are issues with color balance throughout the video, and some clips come from damaged film and are speckly or distorted. It is a compilation of various clips of footage. It begins with footage of the Muskegon County Wastewater Management System, farms, crops, and general landscape shots. There is a portion of the landscape footage that has footage from another video (Russel H. Kirkhof donation) overlaid upside down, so the image is dark and confusing. The majority of the video is from the Festival ’79 in downtown Grand Rapids. There are clips from musical performances from different groups, children painting and playing, shots of the crowd, tents and food cooking, and runners finishing a race. The end of the video is footage of a forest, creek, and a cabin, and more race footage.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan July 6, 2003 Transcription of the spoken sermon The title of my Independence Day sermon is "My Country, Right or Wrong..." and I suppose there are some of you wondering whether or not I have had a conversion in the middle of the night that I should suddenly be an advocate of that statement, "My country, right or wrong," becoming perhaps a chauvinist overnight. Nicholas Chauvin was a French soldier attached to Napoleon I who in 1815 was so fanatical and unreasonable and irrational about the lost cause of the Napoleonic Empire that he gained notoriety through his bellicose proclamations and ever since he has given to us the word chauvinism, which means to be fanatical and unreasonable about one's nation or the opposite sex or whatever. Well, I do want to say to you I have not become chauvinist. "My country, right or wrong," is a phrase which is often quoted and quoted as though it can stand alone. But the title of this sermon as it is printed has three dots after it, and the sermon is about those three dots. Forrest Church, in a very fine book entitled The American Creed, which he wrote post-9/11, tells about a day when he was rummaging through the attic of his grandparents and he came across a very attractive wooden plaque that had a picture of a World War I soldier in his broad-brimmed helmet, and on burnished brass on the front of the helmet were embossed those words, "My country, right or wrong." Obviously, coming across that in his grandparents' attic, Forrest Church must have had his curiosity piqued because he did some research to find out that "My country, right or wrong," is a phrase lifted from a larger statement that was made in 1899 by a Senator from Missouri, Charles Schurz, and the complete statement is "My country, right or wrong. If right, keep it right. If wrong, set it right." Now, I cannot imagine how you could take five words out of context and make them say entirely the opposite of the original intention, how you could do it any more successfully than was done with that little phrase. It had nothing to do with the kind of chauvinistic attitude, "My country, right or wrong." Indeed, it was saying the opposite; it was saying if you are committed to your nation, if you love it dearly and deeply, then you will do what is necessary to love it when it is strong © Grand Valley State University   �My Country Right or Wrong… Richard A. Rhem Page 2   and to confront it when it is wrong. Those who truly love their nation will not stand idly by while it goes in any number of directions, but will continue to judge its course in terms of the founding principles that have given it life and liberty and the marvelous national experience that we have had. My country, right or wrong? No. My country affirmed in its rightness, critiqued in its wrongness, judged by its own creed, a creed which is summed up no more concisely than in that marvelous Preamble to the Declaration of Independence, that Preamble finding echoes down through the centuries as our commitment to democracy, to freedom, to liberty, to justice for all. It is the person who truly loves his or her nation who will be thoughtful, mindful, aware, and engaged in the affairs of that nation, concerned about its course and its direction, holding it always to its highest and noblest vision. That has always been the task of a free press and also of the pulpit. Whether by the pen of the journalist or the word of the pulpit, there has been a tradition of self-criticism that has marked us at our best. We have just gone through a period when it has been a very dangerous and delicate matter to call in question the direction and the policies of this nation. That is nothing new. It always happens. Those who are in power do not appreciate the critique of those who would hold them accountable to their noblest principles and vision. That is what the scripture lesson was about. Israel was born as a tribal confederacy and they were well aware of the fact that God was king. In our terminology, Israel was a theocracy, and in those early days of inhabiting the Promised Land, there would be a crisis on occasion, and a leader would be lifted up who would lead the nation again through the crisis. One of the greatest of those charismatic leaders was Samuel, called a judge. During the ministry of Samuel, there was a call on the part of the people for a king so that they could be like other nations. Samuel resisted and reminded Israel that God was their king. Still they persisted. They wanted to be like other nations round about them. Samuel said, "You will pay taxes, you will have to give your sons and daughters to the army, the king will oppress you, dominate you." Nonetheless, they wanted a king, so eventually they got a king. Samuel anointed Saul, but in the very anointing of Saul, it was a symbolic action which said to the king, "You are a king under the aegis of God. You are not autonomous or absolute, for you are accountable for your reign before the face of God." With the rise of the monarchy in Israel's history came the office of the prophet, and the prophet was the one who spoke the word of God to power. The prophet spoke truth to power. The thing that made Israel unique in the context of its own history was the fact that, contrary to those nations 'round about where the king was absolute, in Israel when the prophet spoke, the King trembled. There was respect for the prophet as the spokesperson for God. And so, we have the story this morning of King Ahab, infamous king of the Northern Kingdom, who is visited by Jehoshaphat, the king of the Southern Kingdom. Very likely, the stronger Ahab had summoned Jehoshaphat who said, "You know, Ramothgilead, over on the Transjordan is in the hands of Aram and it really belongs to us © Grand Valley State University �My Country Right or Wrong… Richard A. Rhem Page 3   and we simply haven't done anything about it. Will you join us in going on a military venture in order to reclaim Ramoth-gilead?" Jehoshaphat said, "Look, King, my people are as your people, my horses are as your horses, let's go. But wait, first of all, let us engage in that which was characteristic of Israel both in the north and in the south. Let us hear the word of the Lord from the prophet." So, Ahab set up their thrones, they got their robes on, they had a public place, they had the whole thing choreographed, probably as marvelous as many of the Fourth of July celebrations in the past week, and there they sat. Ahab summoned 400 prophets, and 400 prophets came with their ecstatic utterance, and Ahab raised the question, "Shall we go to war or shall we refrain?" The word from the 400 was like a chorus, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph." Well, Jehoshaphat was really a pretty good king and a rather pious man and he must have sensed that this whole scenario was staged somehow. He said, "Isn't there anybody else?" Ahab said, "Yes, there is one other guy. I hate him. He never says anything favorable, always speaks about disaster for me." Jehoshaphat said, "Don't talk that way." So, Ahab summoned an officer to go and get Micaiah and the officer came to Micaiah and said, 'The king has summoned you and, incidentally, 400-strong the prophets are in one accord. They have given the counsel to the king to go up and triumph, so watch your script." When Micaiah came, Ahab said, "Shall we go up or shall we refrain?" Micaiah said, "Go up and triumph," to which Ahab replied, "How many times do I have to tell you, tell me nothing but the truth of the word of God?" Micaiah said, "It's going to be disaster." Ahab looked at Jehoshaphat and said, "See what I told you? He never says anything but disaster." Ahab summoned his officer again and said, "Take Micaiah home and tell the governor to throw him in prison. Give him rations of bread and water, reduced, until I come in peace." Micaiah said, "Return in peace? Then the Lord has not spoken through me." Some of you have chuckled a little bit to hear the story because there is wonderful humor there. What is a poor prophet to do? He is sternly charged to speak the word of God as that word has come to him, and when he does, he is thrown in jail. I could, of course, go almost anywhere in the Hebrew scriptures, Jeremiah, © Grand Valley State University �My Country Right or Wrong… Richard A. Rhem Page 4   for example, having been accused of being a traitor because he saw the imminent invasion of Babylon, accused of undermining the morale of the people, having been put in prison, but the king once again scared to death sneaks to Jeremiah at night and says, "Is there any word from the Lord?" Jeremiah says, "Yeah, it's not good," and he ended up in the slime pit. Or, there was Amos, moved by God to address the royal house of Israel. He had the audacity to suggest that God has a plumb line and that that plumb line was going to measure the degree to which Israel conformed to that straightness. The royal priest, the chaplain, once again on the king's payroll, came out and said, "Amos, don't ever do that again. This is the king's court. Go prophesy and earn your bread some other place." As I said, it is all over the Hebrew scriptures. This was the great tradition of Israel. What Israel gave to the world was this sense of the prophetic voice that addressed, that spoke truth to power, always a dangerous and delicate and lonely task, but nonetheless, a task which reflected the greatness of the founding vision of that people, always calling Israel back to that justice and that righteousness and that compassion which was in its founding documents in the Mosaic covenant. All of that legislation in the book of Leviticus and Exodus that you go over when you are reading through the scriptures, all of that boring legislation, all of those prescriptions, all of those things concerned with the poor and the widow and the orphan, about the doing of justice and the loving of mercy - all of that was the fodder of the prophets as they addressed the respective monarchies in the history of Israel and Judah. An important task, a task which if any nation loses, the nation loses. You know in the 20th century my great spiritual hero was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. There is a film out on Bonhoeffer now which I am anxious to see, but I have already seen, as some of you have with me, a video of Bonhoeffer's life, and on that video where there is actual tape of some of those Nazi rallies where the bishops of the church were literally co-opted into the Nazi cause, it is chilling when you see the degree to which the church had been co-opted by the cause of a demonic regime. In 1939 when Bonhoeffer was given a study grant at Union Seminary in New York City, arranged by Reinhold Neibuhr and John Bennett and some of those greats, he came to this country and he found himself restless because things were heating up in Europe, and in spite of the fact that he had this marvelous opportunity, that he had safety and security and he could pursue his studies and he was a brilliant student, a brilliant theologian; nonetheless, he turned his back on it all and got on the last possible ship for Europe. When others asked him, "Why?" he said, "Because I cannot be in peace and safety here while there is turmoil in my nation." He was so German, German to the core of his being and he loved his nation so greatly, and he said, "I must go back there and be with my people now if I am going to have any part in their future." And then he said, "I must will the defeat of © Grand Valley State University �My Country Right or Wrong… Richard A. Rhem Page 5   my own nation in order to preserve western civilization. Should I will the success of my nation, it would be the ruination of western civilization." It was a wrenching and painful decision that he had to make. He who was a pacifist in his own heart, nonetheless, saw the darkness in such stark terms that he joined a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler, joining himself to a violent response, going against everything that was in him, but recognizing how high the stakes were. It is that kind of a prophetic witness, Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth coming out of that state church, forming the confessing church whose creed, the Barman Confession, begins by saying, "God alone, the word of God alone rules. "No political entity, no potentate or king, nothing can take allegiance over that loyalty to God who transcends, of course, every nation and every civilization. The country that loses that prophetic witness is on a road to disaster. One of the great things about this nation is that we have an American creed with its principles that created a structure which allows for, demands, self-criticism, self-critique, and the interchange of diverse opinions and ideas, and the free exchange that can only result in a healthy body politic. We are at a critical point in our nation today when we have to judge the direction in which we are being taken. It is interesting that the social gospel of which I spoke last week was made up of those liberal, Protestant leaders who saw a vision of this whole nation becoming the land of the free, and then looked beyond the nation to the globe, and they started that World Missionary Movement and were thinking about world evangelization, and some of the greatest voices envisioned the whole globe evangelized with the gospel and with this marvelous democratic spirit that we had discovered and were living. Then, in the 20th century, all of those grand schemes were dashed on the rocks of the violence of that last century - World War I, World War II, the Cold War, the nuclear standoff, and there continued to be those who advocated an internationalist approach. Coming out of the ashes of the Second World War, the United Nations was founded, largely at the impetus of our own nation. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a leader in that movement, an internationalism that believed that security could be found only through collective agreements, alliances, and a willingness of all states not to do anything they could do, but to comply with international law. It hasn't worked very well. There were realists in the wake of all of the violence of last century, and the realist position was to keep the competing powers in a kind of balance. That was our experience during the Cold War. It was a balance of terror. It was the possibility of mutual total annihilation. The realist looks at the human situation and says the only thing that can keep some kind of peace is by competing powers being more or less level. But, today, there is no level playing field. Today it is the unipolar world. A few months ago when I suggested the idea of an American empire, there were those of you who said, "Well, why haven't we ever heard of it?" Now everybody's © Grand Valley State University �My Country Right or Wrong… Richard A. Rhem Page 6   heard of it. Now it is a given. Now it is a cliché, that we are it. The question is how are we going to respond in this situation? I hope there will always be from pen and pulpit those voices that will call the nation to its highest and its best. What we tend to be moving toward now is a kind of nationalism back up by militarism. There is a fascinating article in the July/August Atlantic Monthly by Robert Kaplan, where he suggests that we simply ought to take "the stealth approach to supremacy." I think of the idealism of our past and I am unwilling to give up that vision that was present at our founding and has been echoed through the centuries. In an address to Congress, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his famous Four Freedoms speech, the freedom of speech or the press, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of one's own conscience, freedom from want that involved economic structures, and freedom from fear which involved the reduction of armaments world-wide. And in the final draft of that speech, he added a phrase after each one of his freedoms, freedom of speech everywhere in the world, freedom to worship everywhere in the world, freedom from want everywhere in the world, and freedom from fear everywhere in the world. He invited his advisors to take a look at his speech, and one of his principal advisors, Harry Hopkins, said to him, "Mr. President, “everywhere in the world”that's a lot of territory. I don't know if the American people care that much about Java," to which FDR replied, "I think, Harry, that the globe is getting so small that we will have to be concerned about Java, because they are becoming our neighbors." A prophetic insight into the way the world was going, and we are there. And we are the lone superpower of the world, and who will rule? The realists with a smidgen of cynicism, or the mushy-headed, simple- hearted idealists in which I would still like to believe? Judge Learned Hand, a rather well-known figure of our recent history, defined the spirit of liberty this way: The spirit of liberty. I cannot define it. I can only tell you my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interest alongside its own without bias. The spirit of liberty remembers that not even a sparrow falls to earth unheeded. The spirit of liberty is the spirit of him who, near 2000 years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned, but has never quite forgotten, that there may be a kingdom where the least shall be heard and considered, side-by-side with the greatest. I believe it is my task to keep that vision alive, and I would consider this sermon a success, not if you agreed with me, but if you agreed that I am doing what I ought to be doing. My country, right or wrong. If right, then keep it right. If wrong, set it right. © Grand Valley State University � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

I heard about what was going on oversees, but never anticipated this full lock down situation here in America. When I heard about it, I was living in my sorority house at college. Grand Valley had moved classes to online classes a week after our spring break, and that’s when everyone started leaving. Within a week, I was the only one left living in my sorority house that consisted of twenty-five girls. I needed to stay at my house because I work in an assisted living home close to my school, and my work really needed my help. We were short staffed to begin with, but as soon as the coronavirus started to spike, people started to call off of work. I was getting calls multiple times a week to see if I could come into work. I ended up picking up a lot of shifts because I was able to work more with classes being online. Work was pretty usual for the first week, but then things changed when we went on lockdown. The building I work in is a memory care unit with mostly hospice patients. The new rule was that there can no longer be visitors, unless completely necessary in regard to a hospice patient. The workers also had to be screened every time we came into work which included taking our temperatures and assessing the status of our health. The residents had to stop coming down to the dining room for meals and we had to ask them to stay in their rooms. This was really sad for me to watch because a lot of my residents didn’t know what was going on, and this virus completely disrupted their routines. I live in Illinois and go to school in Michigan so when I heard that they were potentially placing travel bans on Illinois, I started to become concerned. I was already planning on going home for the summer, so my boss knew that I wouldn’t be working until next August. I had a coworker pick up the remainder of my shifts for the semester and my parents moved me out of my sorority house as soon as possible. I was sad to leave because I didn’t anticipate my sophomore year of college ending this way. Online school was hard for me to adjust to. I enjoy taking one or two classes online during my semester, but fifteen credits online are a different story. It was very hard for me to focus on my �schoolwork when I didn’t have to physically attend lectures and I didn’t have a library to study at. Six people are living in my house currently: my mom, dad, younger sister, older sister and her husband, so you can imagine how hectic it is in my house. Most of the time I would procrastinate my schoolwork and have a ton of things to do last minute. I just took my last final and I am glad that the semester is over, but I still need to find ways to occupy my time. There is little to do since everything is closed, and social distancing rules are in place. I haven’t been in public in one and a half months now, and it is definitely affecting my mental health by not being able to see any of my friends and socialize. I don’t want to complain because so many people have it significantly worse than I do right now, but it is hard being isolated. The only time I get outside in these days are taking walks or runs, but it had been too cold in Illinois recently to do that often. In regard to the coronavirus, someone’s mom that I was very close to contracted it. It was very scary to hear about because the rate of fatality with this disease. Thankfully she is fine now, but someone having it who you are close to really puts things into perspective. I didn’t fully understand the gravity of it all until I heard about that. It made me realize what I should be focusing on in life, because it can be taken away from you very fast. I am grateful for this time I get to spend with my family. Even though I’m not used to living at home and I do get annoyed by it, I have grown closer to my family because of it. I honestly do not know how long the stay-at-home order will go until. The governor of Illinois just stated that our stay at home could potentially be extended until June, which is about another thirty days from now. I am frustrated with the amount of people not following the stay at home and making matters worse for everyone. There are protestors protesting these stay-athome orders, saying it is limiting their freedom. In my eyes I would rather have to say inside for three months, than have this pandemic last any longer. Hopefully we can resume to normal life soon, but for now we have to get used to being inside. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I realized that it was affecting thousands of people in other countries than the United States. Being at school, I did not watch the news in my apartment or anything. The only news I would see regarding the coronavirus was on Twitter. As more days went by in March, there were more cases found and more people dying. Especially knowing that there were cases in our country, I was more aware of how serious this virus was becoming. Towards the end of March when we got the email about transitioning to online classes, My roommates and I started to pack some of our things to go back to our permanent residency. I stayed for a few more days after the email got sent to us so I could have time to pack some of my clothes and other essential things I needed to bring back home. My roommates and I are living in the same apartment we were in this school year next school year also, so I did not have to move every single thing out. I stayed long enough to eat the rest of my food that would go bad and packed the rest of my bags to go home. The semester was more than half way through by the time I came back home for online classes, so I was basically starting to study for finals coming up and I was nervous for how they were going to be since they were not going to be in person. I had a course this semester that was a hybrid, so I only planned to meet with that class in person for a couple exams and the rest of the class was taught online. That was the only class relatively similar to what the rest of my classes were going to be like until finals. Being at school and attending each of my classes on �campus everyday meant I had a set schedule. Knowing I was just going to be on my laptop all day for every class at home made me lose motivation to get things done early like I would at school. Even my sleeping and eating habits were off. I still had reminders set in my phone each day to get notes done and finish homework assignments but, I was more likely to just ignore them because I knew I was just stuck home and I would tell myself “I’ll do it tomorrow”. One class I did not enjoy online was my anatomy lab. That is normally a class I look forward to because it is a hands on course and it helps me understand the material better that I am learning in lecture. Having it be online was just not the same I did not get the best experience I could have. None of my courses were the best experience when everything was online, it just makes school less intriguing to me. And I really enjoy school, especially when everything I am learning is beneficial to my future career. Coming back home wasn’t bad because I love hanging out with my family and dog but after a few weeks, it gets hectic in my house. My three younger siblings can be loud and obnoxious and there is never a time when it is completely silent in my house. As you can imagine, I got annoyed quickly especially when I was trying to do my school stuff and I could not concentrate half the time. And with a pandemic going on and social distancing in place, I could not exactly leave my house. Over time, I was able to cope and get my assignments done. My dad has been working from home since the stay at home order was in place, but my brother and mom were still going to work because they are part of the essential workers. My mom is a labor and delivery nurse, so she is in a hospital more than three times a week and my brother works at Ace Hardware. With them being out around other people, but wearing masks, they do not know who they could be around who might have the virus or if they might have the virus and not be showing symptoms. It is scary to think that they could end up getting the virus and bring it �back into our home without even knowing they might have it. We have been washing our hands and keeping good hygiene while being at home. If we do need to leave our house for groceries or other necessities, my mom and sister had sewed a bunch of masks for us to wear for protection. It is very important to try and take things like this seriously in our lives. Events like this will go down in history because of the enormous impact it has made throughout the whole world. People need to make sure they try and listen to the orders of social distancing and staying home because if they decide to go around with friends, not washing their hands as often as they should, and or not wearing a mask to protect themselves and others, the curve will never flatten. Life will never be the same again because of this virus and most people know that. But everyone should do their part to try and get life back to normal or close to it. No one wants to live like this and see loved ones and others mourn from the losses of those who lived near and dear to them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Faculty swiftly transitioned to fully-online teaching for the remainder of the Winter 2020 semester, and all campus events, including commencement, were cancelled. The purpose of the COVID-19 Journaling Project was to document the individual and personal experiences of GVSU’s students, staff, faculty, and the wider community during this time of international crisis. Some project participants were university student employees who were compensated for their journaling. Other participants were granted stipends or extra credit for submitting entries to the archives. Still others participated without any compensation or credit. The University Archives remains grateful to all who submitted journals, for helping us to understand the impact of this crisis on our community.
