New and Noteworthy

The COVID-19 pandemic is presenting unique challenges for each of us, but what our community is accomplishing together has been remarkable: moving courses and finals online, finding new ways to support our campus virtually. Thank you. - President Alan Shepard pic.twitter.com/s5A9bzzkWa

Many of you went to your last class on campus without knowing it, and then the world tilted. Exams are written, assignments done - despite it all, you're at the finish line.

We’ll see you again, as soon as it’s safe, for more learning and to celebrate your achievements! pic.twitter.com/wrfrOjml0v
