With most COVID-19 restrictions lifted last month, students greeted a summer term much like those of the past: no masks required, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with friends and meet new classmates in the warm and welcoming environment of campus in the summertime. From studying together at the library to chatting down at the dock or on the Collis Center patio to enjoying a free dinner at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge, students’ beaming faces seem to say: It’s sure great to be back.
