| SPOTLIGHT: Let's Lift Each Other Up! |

|
John F. Kennedy once said, "The rising tide lifts all the boats." As we all deal with the effects of COVID-19, it's time for Vikings to lift other Vikings up and offer support!
Join us in helping our alumni-owned businesses as we adjust to the new normal of social distancing. Every Saturday, we are highlighting alumni businesses that need our support, like Jaho Coffee & Tea in Salem, owned by Anil Menzini '12.
If you own a business that offers goods or services that individuals can take advantage of during this time, and you would like us to promote your business to fellow graduates, please fill out our online form.
In addition, please consider supporting the Student Emergency Fund, which will help our students adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Together we can support Vikings, near and far, and lift each other up!
