This was a semester that no one could have imagined.
While COVID-19 cut our semester short, we still enjoyed a couple of months of “old normal.” The first half of spring 2020 was filled with memorable community service events, tremendous student achievements, and simple (and dearly missed) fun. It may be a semester we want to forget in some ways, but our scholars still gave us plenty of reasons to smile!
