Hello from Q-FARM:
As autumn quarter closes, we look forward to winter break. The break will be unusual, but brings a sense of relief and restorative potential. We hope each of you take time to rejuvenate yourself; rest, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy much laughter over the next few weeks.
Reflecting on the accomplishments of Q-FARM students and faculty during the past (very unusual!) quarters brings us tremendous joy. Please continue reading the highlights that we are so proud to share!
