Along Maxwell Place Pier, the Say Their Names Memorial stands out against the Manhattan skyline.
The new semester has begun and, like the rest of the world, Stevens has undergone major changes to remain operational this fall.
As each spring semester comes to a close, The Stute takes a brief hiatus for the summer before returning in the fall.
On March 17, the student body and the faculty were made aware of the temporary transition to online courses that would later apply to the remainder of the semester.
