Tweet: CUNY Announcement of COVID-19 Infection at John Jay College
Posted on March 10, 2020, this tweet represented the official announcement from the City University of New York (CUNY) administration regarding the exposure of John Jay's student body to COVID-19. While many other tweets in this collection show public awareness of a student testing positive for Covid-19 prior to CUNY's announcement, it is worth noting the community's shock as its fears were officially confirmed. While this tweet attempts an official conciliatory tone, it cannot be read without the sense of weight it conjured for the larger CUNY community.

Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.
