I want to send love and positive energy to everyone else who has sustained their blackness, their joy, honored the good and the bad, and maintained resilience. I know can be hard to see light and feel proud of yourself through struggle – but you did it! We did it!

Did you know? Mary Woolley Hall was built with a dining hall in the basement, which was later converted into a tearoom and could be used for special official occasions. This space was later converted into an informal dining facility known as “Wilbur”–pictured above are students at the Wilbur Soda Bar in 1951. When Blanchard was renovated into a dining facility in 1988 to become the student center, Wilbur was converted into an office space.
