Huskies at Home
Amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic, spring quarter 2020 marked an extraordinary time for University of Washington students and students around the world. UW student photographers Vivian Tran and Josh Winiarski documented their experiences and adaptations during the UW's first-ever remote quarter.

Study Setup
My “quarantine complete” setup includes a pen, pencil, and an eraser for note-taking, laptop for lectures, music for relaxation, and sticky notes for spontaneous and creative ideas :D
Two monitors, RGB lights, and one of those Snuggie Blankets with sleeves are all vital to a productive setup.
Quarantine Classmates
This is my cat named Peter! He likes to come into my room when I’m in Zoom calls. He’s technically my study buddy, but I get a lot less done when he’s with me...
This is my dog, Marvel! He always wants to play while I am finishing up some homework, how can you say no? >.<
My "Campus"
Here are some shots from my campus in Kennewick, Washington. It’s a small town, but it almost never rains, so I’ll take it!
My campus in Houston, Texas. Sunny with a chance of thunderstorms and beautiful evenings.
Housebound Hobbies
I have been spending my free time completing puzzles with my family.
I have also been spending free time baking.
Staying Fueled
I like to start my day with a cup of black coffee. It’s the only thing that can keep me focused during two hour Zoom lectures.
This is my go-to snack. I have been experimenting with cooking different add-ons in my ramen.
What I Miss Most about Campus
Some of my favorite views I miss from Seattle... we were just starting to get those spring sunsets, too :(
Spending evenings studying in a cafe after classes.
The campus blooms.
Studying with friends every day.
The liveliness and the beauty of campus during the sunny spring days.
Hang in there Huskies! Together we are a part of this extraordinarily challenging moment in history, and together we will emerge with resilience and compassion. Looking forward to brighter days ahead. Go Dawgs!
