We have officially reached the end of the semester, and while students and faculty prepare for final exams, our community also continues to exemplify how liberal arts capacities, such as historical perspectives, global experiences, and varied methods of data collection, are crucially important. We're
proud to see the many ways in which you have sustained and built intellectual and social communities from beyond campus!
