Compassion Quilt Project at CSUSM

In Spring 2022 we began constructing a COVID-19 Compassion Quilt at California State University San Marcos. This quilt is a project designed to highlight those things that the CSUSM community has been grateful for during this pandemic. It also will honor those loved ones who we lost to the disease or other causes. Look for our table at the What Gives Your Life Meaning event during spring 2024.
