We, the Community Health Organizers, constructively disagree with the article, “How to Have a Good Convocation,” published on September 1st in The Sophian.

En cierto modo, este ajuste gradual hizo que la introducción a la universidad fuera más fácil y menos abrupta. Pero hace un año, la perspectiva de no tener una transición normal a la universidad fue devastadora para mí.
