Ending of Residency!

Hard to believe that these three weeks have flown by! We had a beautiful ending ritual which Mitchell Kossak organized. It was a great way to reflect on the hard work, prepare for the hard work, say goodbye to the "in person" part of the program, and open the door to the virtual program!
