The Colorado State University community gathered on the west lawn of the Lory Student Center Sept. 1 for the Fall Reflection. The afternoon reflection replaced the annual fall address “for an opportunity to acknowledge the challenges of the recent year, including the loss, illness, isolation and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the emotion caused by national events,” according to CSU SOURCE. The event featured complimentary food, time for reflections and the ceremonial planting of a tree. President Joyce McConnell, along with other community figures, addressed the crowd to speak on the challenges CSU students, faculty and staff faced during the pandemic.
