81 FOLIO COPY George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minn. which sparked a wave of protests and activism against racial injustice. More than 10 mi l l ion COVID-19 test s were conducted in the U.S. This year, school didn’t really look like school . Plex iglas bar r iers , masked lectures and the occasional Zoom classes weren’t the ideal form of learning. But hidden in these inconveniences was an invitation to learn. We learned how to adapt and even thrive in the new normal. We learned the importance of connecting with our community to brainstorm, grow and encourage. When colleges across the nation transitioned to virtual learning, our connection to Harding endured. We received an invitation to appreciate the peers and mentors who have nurtured our skills and encouraged our ambitions. Even from six feet away, we were prepared to enter the world – a distanced, divided world – and do good. Annesly Young Pruitt Academics Editor ACADEMICS May 14, 2020 May 25, 2020 2021 ACADEMICS
