Open House

275 faculty, staff, graduate students, and community members joined us for the 2024 Open House. The event broadly celebrated mysteries from around the world. Décor, activities, and food brought this theme alive, and Open House partners creatively celebrated the “mysteries” their services and resources help solve.

It was all wonderful. I'm always very impressed and surprised by how well-organized this event is. And it's a wonderful way to kick off the spring semester
