Compassion & creativity triumph over uncertainty & fear. We prize being together. Yet, it’s togetherness that truly gets us here. Uncomfortable detours can reveal profound lessons. We will continue to experience them, & we will continue to grow. #UWOgradhttps://t.co/bQdfj0Be4r pic.twitter.com/4M76TIisvA
