To end the semester right, we held our annual Holiday Party, only this time on Zoom. Despite not being able to gather together in person, we still enjoyed the activities prepared by the Bonner Leadership Team, and especially Greyson, our Bonner Love Intern.
We had an unprecedented number of Bonner Alumni present, 8 to be precise. They had great advice for current Bonners, but above all, they showcased true Bonner Love and what it means to be part of this special program, even after graduation.
We kicked off the evening with a few questions to which the Bonners replied to on Mentimeter. As expected, this semester posed many challenges for us all:
However, we found things that helped us get through these difficult times:
The Bonners reflected on things they learned, appreciated, or were inspired by at their placements over the semester. Here are some of them:
- communication matters - how to be organized in a world full of chaos - how to plan and stick to a plan - being grateful for the things we have and making sure that other people that are not as fortunate get similar, if not the same, opportunities As for next semester, the Bonners are hoping to be able to return to campus, have new opportunities, peace, health, and hopefully a vaccine. Finally, we played a few games organized by Greyson. This is us playing the "put-a-finger-down" challenge:
All in all, this year's Virtual Holiday Party was fun and made us realize that we can still experience Bonner Love, no matter the distance.
Happy Holidays from all of us in the Bonner Program! 🎉🎁🎄
