With temperatures tumbling into the 30s, the last few chilly mornings felt like someone flipped the calendar back a page or two.
But there’s no ignoring the evidence that spring has sprung all around us: the greening Chapel and Engineering fields, colorful tulips, cheerful cherry blossoms and baby leaves poking out from tree branches.
So luxuriate on McKeldin Mall for that Spanish class, string up your hammocks, strike up a lusty game of sportsball, feast on those tender grasses and legumes (this is obviously addressed to the newly arrived lambs on the Campus Farm) and milk the warming weather for all it’s worth before we’re sweating and looking forward to fall again.
And in the meantime, enjoy this gallery of colorful campus images by the Office of Marketing and Communications’ ace photo team.
