Social distancing is difficult. Being apart from family, friends and neighbors, especially during such uncertain times, can make us feel lonely, sad and even scared. Keeping up or reconnecting with old friends is a great way to tap into nostalgia and positive feelings. The Alumni Association can help.
During these uncertain and unprecedented times, the Alumni Association is keeping all alumni and friends top of mind. Whether you live nearby or are experiencing this crisis from another area of the country or the world, you are in our thoughts. Sending special thoughts to our alumni working on the frontlines in essential roles, helping to care for the sick, feed families, transport supplies and more.
