So. Hadley was festive with spring, so many flowering trees and bushes. Odyssey Bookshop gathered together a fun audience full of Dominicanas and a number of friends there to welcome me and my conversation host, Isabel Espinal, PhD, MLIS, a research services librarian at UMass Amherst Libraries.

This #ThrowbackThursday we're looking back at some of our favorite snaps from past commencement ceremonies. Can you believe that in one month, we'll officially welcome the class of 2024 to the UMass Amherst alumni community?

Thank you to UMass Amherst Libraries, HFA and Craft Center staff for leading activities during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 'Shell-abration' for their 40th anniversary, co-created by alumnus Peter Laird '76. Of course I had a slice of pizza to celebrate. Cowabunga! 🐢

Thank you Chancellor Javier Reyes for stopping by and shell-ebrating the Ninja Turtles with us! 🐢🐢🐢🐢
