On April 16, the Department hosted its annual awards ceremony via Zoom for the first time. Although we missed the warmth of being in person (as well as the food!), we were delighted to be able to see each other online and celebrate the accomplishments of our undergraduate and graduate students, our very best Associate Instructors, and our Trustees Teaching Award winners. The Department was especially pleased to be able to present the first annual Edoardo A. Lèbano Memorial Award in honor of our recently departed colleague (see In Memoriam).
