#weRUnited
Virtually Inseparable
Over the past 12 months, a new reality has demanded ideas and
solutions that no one thought possible, but together we found a path
forward: from the rapid transition to online learning and a virtual
community, to discovering ways to detect an unknown virus and
distributing life-saving vaccines. There’s still more work to do, but—
united—we’ve already come so far.
Dedicated students and staff used their talents and found ways to keep
cherished traditions alive even in a stay-at-home world.
