A Final Note from the Honors Institute for 2020
As we approach the fall quarter and the end of this year, we want to acknowledge the tremendous amount of learning and personal evolution that so many have experienced due to the reality of living with and inside of a global pandemic. Each one of us has been impacted by the reality of COVID 19 in our lives and in our communities- and some have endured far more hardships than others. But we want to recognize the beauty of how our students continue to move towards hope and continue to challenge themselves as life-long learners in any context. Working with you all has been inspiring and humbling as we have been able to get a glimpse of the strength it takes for a person to continue pushing forward even in times of such uncertainty. We wish every student and member of the Foothill Community a restful break and a safe holiday season. Be well and find joy- we will see you all in 2021!
