When the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly, effectively closed campus last month, students, faculty, and staff had to shelter in place and shift gears quickly to different modes of teaching, learning, research, service, and work. 

To help MSU students and their families transition to remote, online learning, MSU has undertaken a massive phone effort to check up on tens of thousands of students and their families, to learn how they are doing, and whether they need additional assistance from the university.

Several employees of the MSU Libraries are helping with this important outreach and support effort. Their willingness to pitch in and help is much appreciated!
