ANN ARBOR – Congratulations on making it through the first week of working from home!
As we practice social distance, we hope that you are finding ways to maintain connections with your friends, colleagues, and loved ones virtually. This week, Zoom arrived on campus as another option for videoconferencing and its customizable “virtual background” feature is injecting some much needed levity into our conversations. Taking a cue from the School of Information and U-M Social we have created some virtual backgrounds for you to use in Zoom that might make you feel closer to your ISR #HoMe.
Take your video conference calls from North Quad, or attend your online class from the Michigan Stadium––These virtual @umich backgrounds for @zoom_us will make you feel closer to #HoMe. ➡️https://t.co/0uQyyKV3y0 pic.twitter.com/m2iY2u0JCN
