Photo Gallery: Students wrap up first week back on campus

Sophomores Jeremiah White and Roman Ruedas sit on opposite ends of a bench between the 40s and 60s wings while holding a conversation on Nov. 2. For many students, Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 — the respective first dates for Cohorts A and B under the new hybrid schedule — were the first days in nearly eight months that they could talk to their friends in-person again.
