The University of Alberta Library, in collaboration with Wellness Supports, is excited to share Student Life During COVID! This digital volume is a compilation of creative works that reflects student experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The creative works published in this volume include drawings, paintings, digital art, collage, poetry, and music, and will serve as a permanent artifact of the experience of student life during the COVID pandemic.

Between April and October, 2021, U of A students were encouraged to reflect on their experiences as a post-secondary student during the pandemic, and to consider their resilience, tenacity, and overall wellness — and then to creatively express what it all meant to them. A limited number of small art kits were available to students (comprising a set of watercolour paints, oil pastels, a pad of watercolour postcard paper, origami paper and a glue stick!), and several creative arts workshops took place during April and May 2021. Finally, students were invited to submit creative works for a publication in digital and print formats.

Eleven student works have been published in this volume which we hope will be a resource for other students as they face continuing impacts and challenges of post-secondary education during COVID, and will serve as a permanent artifact of the University of Alberta pandemic experience.

Special thanks to the contributing artists: Ishan.A, Malou Brouwer, Mari Alice Conrad, Jordyn Frederick, Andrea Larsen, Holly Munn, M-A Murphy, Priscilla Ojomu, Alysha Ross, Gabriela Roth, Morgan Wong and Neha Vashis.

We wish to thank and acknowledge financial support for this project from a Heroes for Health Grant.
