We present another Monday edition of PP (the campus is closed tomorrow for the holiday).
Once again, we are featuring a 20-image issue in our end-of-year Planners’ Picks. A special thank you goes out to the committee responsible for all the CSN events and helping to curate the content you receive in our weekly newsletter. While the email originates from my account, it surely takes a village to continue to provide the variety of content CSN is known for. We also welcome suggestions from you, the readers, on newsletters or posts that would be helpful to others.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain.

Tomorrow is another day.
We can find happiness in many places – it’s all around us in our daily lives if we look.
