Beaver Believer

These are challenging days for so many people, and sometimes it is hard to find the silver linings in this cloudy time.  For me, it has to be how incredibly friendly and responsible everyone has been in this course; hundreds of people making things work with positive and supportive attitudes.  If we do our best work possible, it feels like we are trying to honor the sacrifices, willing and unwilling, of so many people around the world.  I am more proud than ever to be an OSU Beaver.

Getting our hands dirty

This is supposed to be a heart model for ages 8+. Whatever.
