It’s easy to feel disconnected from the world and from each other during quarantine and this period of social distancing. So we wanted to ask members of the Yale and New Haven community to share with us what’s keeping them happy right now.

This is the first episode of a series dedicated to telling the stories of Yalies and New Haveners amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

This episode was produced by Mina Caraccio, Alexa Stanger and Andrea Lee. Cover art credit to Will Wang. Music credit: “Divine” by Max Sergeev Max Sergeev: icons8.com/music/author/max-sergeev
