The Cohort 2020 graduation yearbooks have arrived. I will be handing out the copies tomorrow on campus in the library. If anyone missed ordering one, wants to see them, you are welcome to come find me. I may be able to do another order if more finishing 3rd years want a copy. Just let me know. - Rebeckah
