In a unique way, Buffs were back this past week–some returning, some new. They followed guidelines for the safety of themselves and others, while eagerly exploring new classes, projects and opportunities. Some virtually attended welcome events, including a talk by Trevor Noah, ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵnity Fest and the Be Involved Fair. People settled into important day-to-day routines, like finding study spots, grabbing food and interacting with colleagues and friends. The community kicked off the academic year as Buffs together.
