Taking Back History, Owning the Future: the A&S Ethos
Earlier this fall, nearly 150 Arts and Sciences graduates attended their pandemic-delayed 2020 Commencement. Returning to campus months after their studies ended shows how connected these young alumni are to the A&S community of achievement. Like the generations of A&S students who came before them, and those who will come after, these students had a fire to make the world healthier, more hopeful and more human. In this issue, you'll see so many examples of the A&S family doing just that by addressing past injustices and solving today's challenges. We all may bleed orange, but all A&S hearts beat with the ethos of intellectual fearlessness and ethical action.
As always, stay up-to-date by checking the A&S news page and following us on social media (search @ArtsSciencesSU).
