Our lives were forever changed by the pandemic. The exhibition’s final stop is in the seventh-floor conference room, which includes significant achievements of faculty, alumni, and students as well as moments we will soon not forget. 

This conclusion to our exhibit is a final reminder of the dedication of our colleagues and friends throughout historically difficult two years.

Onwards and upwards!
