#POKEMON DESKTOP PET SERIES#

вЂњI miss students just as much as I think they miss me.

вЂњSelfishly, I do it for myself,вЂќ AnnetteВ says. This friendly and fun-loving duo hosts weekly Zoom social events to help UMass students connect in a time when safe ways to socialize are scarce. вЂњIвЂ™m just here to see the pets,вЂќ she said.ДЄnnette Vadnais, better known as вЂњThe Purple Hair Librarian,вЂќ is the student success and outreach librarian at UMass, and works alongside Lauren Weiss, the libraryвЂ™s marketing outreach assistant. Laura McDonough, a recent UMass graduate, said she loves these events and has attended two of them already. Students discussed breeds and pet names and shared laughs over the silly things pets do. Cameras that were off when the event began turned on as more pets made their debuts. Corgi cuteness and Dachshund delight filled screens and inspired conversation. Jaws dropped at the unveiling of each studentвЂ™s furry friend. AJ, a 14-year-old Brittany spaniel with a rabid following on his Instagram account (6,060 followers and counting!), stole the show. In a not-so-typical Zoom meeting, those now-ubiquitous Zoom squares were packed with furry faces.
