The University of Richmond returned to a real, if smaller, in-person graduation ceremony this year, just in time for the Downey group to lose four valued members. We send our congratulations and best wishes to: Claire Fuller, who will be off to graduate school at Cambridge–the one in England; Scott Isaacson, who has a date with a golf course before moving on to more education; Grace Ann Robertson, who enters med school at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine in Memphis; and Hanyu “Ivy” Zhong, who will be studying even more biochemistry than before, this time at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
I’m really proud of what these three great students have accomplished, and I look forward to hearing even more great things about them soon. Bon voyage!
