Join us for our culminating event to celebrate this year of the humanities! We will congratulate those who earned the Asano Humanities & Health Certificate and the contributors and editors of Inside Out, Jefferson’s student-run arts & literary journal. Hear students share excerpts of their written and artistic works from Inside Out’s newly-minted edition! We hope you come out for this in-person celebration to meet your fellow humanities peers, decompress, snack, and wrap up the year. Plus cake!
