Things are anything but normal these days. But in a campus community as tightknit as this one, we can lean on each other (figuratively, of course!) to share ideas, humor and positivity as we go through this together.

To that end, Lo Que Pasa is asking for your help in creating content that is both helpful and happy.

Here's how you can contribute:

Share your best work-from-home tips

While working remotely is a new adventure for many of us, there are likely quite a few University employees who do it often.

Do you have a routine that helps you separate your work and personal lives even though you're spending all day at home? Are you a Zoom wizard who knows the best ways to make a virtual meeting run as smoothly as possible? Is there a website or app that keeps you and your team in-sync despite being miles apart?

Please, share your wisdom.

Send photos of your home 'offices'

We would like to see where you're working these days. Photos of children, pets and other unexpected workplace features are encouraged.

Please include the following information for photo captions:

  • Your name and title.
  • The names of any other people or pets in the photo(s).
  • A brief description of what's pictured.

Make us smile

Positive stories are important in times like these, so we'd like to hear – and share – yours.

Have you observed a random act of kindness amid the disruptions you likely are experiencing in your professional and personal spheres? Are you feeling especially grateful for a specific colleague and want to tell others about them? Did a recent interaction make your day?

Please email your tips or happy news (in 200 words or less) to Kyle Mittan at mittank@email.arizona.edu.

If you are sending photos, please email them to mittank@email.arizona.edu or upload them to Box and email the link.
