Letter: MSU Moorhead celebrates Women in Construction Week
The stereotypes of women in construction are old, tired and mostly inaccurate. At MSUM, we focus on the business side of construction and train mangers to lead myriad projects in the industry, a field where women are welcomed and encouraged to use their skills and perspectives.

The year is 2121, one hundred years from today. A young San Francisco student, say an eighth grader, is given a school assignment to create a presentation capturing a significant moment in the city s history. He/she/they heads to the San Francisco Main Public Library and is directed to the City Archives. With a little encouragement the research topic is chosen: 2021: the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Among the Archives collection of posters and flyers and other documents our student finds in the city s COVID -19 Time Capsule are four 100-year-old portfolios, both print and digitally produced by four specially selected artists who used their imaginations and skills to leave a record of what it was like to live during the COVID-19 crisis.
