Just like that, we’re almost halfway through the year! With all the pivoting and realigning and just plowing through to get things done as scheduled, we’re certain none can question your productivity throughout this time.

We’ve been kept rather busy too, but even more so this month, especially because it is what supposedly is Commencement month. Despite not having a physical ceremony, we still tip off our hats to all our graduates. You make us all very proud!
