Chaparral 2020-2021: 29.6 Letter from the Editor

It’s been a full year of pandemic life…

…and Chaparral wants to check in to see how things have been going.

Many of us have been working remotely for this past year; some folks have been navigating being on campus during these turbulent times. But everyone has had to deal with the challenges of living and working during a pandemic, and all the ways this has altered our work.

In this issue, we reflect on the year that has passed and look ahead to hope on the horizon, as more people get vaccinated and the world begins to look a little more normal again. What challenges have we faced this past year, and how have we dealt with them? What have we learned from this unprecedented situation? What insights might we be able to take with us into a post-pandemic future?

Stay safe; stay well.
