Taking in 2022: The year at ñ
A look back at 2022 shows a community that leaned into national and international events. Buffs finally got to resume one of the campus's most joyous traditions in person: commencement. The community rallied together around Marshall Fire survivors; adopted a land acknowledgement; set itself on the global stage co-hosting the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit; enjoyed moments with fury friends; said goodbye to ñ's beloved Triceratops; welcomed Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders; and much more.
