Education
Though social distancing has changed the way we live our lives, it hasn’t changed the way our community members care for one another. To address critical, ongoing needs, Tigers have found innovative ways to adapt their talents — and existing University resources — to support our Mizzou family. Whether it’s sewing masks or delivering food and other essentials, Tigers are showing that we can overcome any challenge by sticking together.On this week’s episode of Remote MU, we talk with Lida Aflatoony, a PhD candidate in the Department of Textile and Apparel Management, who is part of a Mizzou team making personal protective equipment for health care workers; and Mathew Swan, a senior majoring in political science, who is the director of Tiger Pantry. Together, we discuss how Mizzou students are finding creative ways to volunteer and help our community during this unprecedented time.
