Total Solar Eclipse

A total solar eclipse crossed Mexico, the U.S., and Canada on April 8, bringing millions of North Americans a striking celestial spectacle.

Interim Provost John Manning, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Hopi Hoekstra and Interim President Alan Garber turned their eyes to the sky, joining the 草榴社区community watching from 草榴社区Yard.
