Yesterday, students and faculty returned to classroom learning at the University of Washington. In that mix, you could find those of us (faculty, juniors, seniors and some graduate students) who were glad to be back — but freshmen and sophomores both are new to the campus after that 18 month COVID pivot to remote learning.

"If we do not believe that something positive and larger than ourselves can be created from the deaths and destruction of 9/11, then we have only anger, pain, or bitterness to sustain us in our recollections of that day." -- September 12, 2011
