USG Responds to Grade Delays Before Pass/Fail Deadline

One huge student concern about the new P/F system is the current lack of updated grades. In response, a letter was sent last week to the faculty, urging them to post grades before the April 24th deadline. The only way we can take advantage of this new system is if all class grades are transparent -- we ask you to follow up with your teachers if there are further delays, to make sure the entire student body is treated fairly during this remote period.

A Zoom Transition: First Gathering for Newly Elected Students is Virtual

The long recognized tradition of Student Government transition stood without delay last week, despite COVID-19 taking us off campus. On Thursday, outgoing President Kaylee Wong happily welcomed the new Student Government representatives, sharing superlatives and reminiscing with fellow Seniors before introducing Olivia Quartell (Class of 2021) into her role.
