In these strange and rapidly changing times, I have taken comfort, as I hope you have, in the resilience, determination and humor demonstrated by so many in our Honors College community. As schools and workplaces have closed, our daily routines have been disrupted, reshaped, and disrupted again, we have seen again and again a spirit of HC community that has made insurmountable difference. Faced with the sudden upending of their lives at Honors College, students and staff reacted with sadness and disappointment, but equally with understanding, compassion, and resolve. While none of us would have chosen to interrupt the semester this way, all of us understand that it is not a choice. So this is the place where each semester Forum students have started a project called storycorp, initially with apprehension but after having done the 45min interview it is nothing but the most positive act they do. It is our responsibility, as a community, to safeguard our own health and wellbeing, and the health and wellbeing of those around us. Let us talk, know what ails the other and build a better future for HC students.
