What an incredible end to a great semester. 🎈🐺 We had a blast at the CALS Block Party today!
From affirmation stations to food trucks to senior pins, students celebrated their hard work and de-stressed to prep for finals season.
Thank you to all who came out, and to the CALS Academic Programs team for hosting the event!
