Pandemic Playlist!

Link

The 2020-2021 UCI school year is at last reaching its end, and students are getting ready to turn of their computers and maybe even delete “Zoom” from their applications as the university begins to prepare for in-person teaching again this fall.

Despite the challenges that were brought on by Covid-19 and by virtual learning, we can still look back at the little things that helped the time pass by. Podcasts we learned from, songs we danced to in the privacy of our rooms, and so much more. Here we have a compilation of songs that helped UCI students through this difficult year, just a snapshot of all the ways that we stayed connected to each other through art in a time of isolation.

Please enjoy UCI’s Pandemic Playlist!
