Hu asked fellow students to submit their images—creative or journalistic, with or without commentary—for the project, dubbed Through the Lens. In the most recent installment, Assistant Photo Editor Grace Rousel ’23 arranged photos taken on campus by Weina Diana Liu ’22.

Managing Editor Frankie Knuckles ’21 said the photo collection has generated a considerable response, especially on the publication’s social media. “At a time when most of us are no longer on campus, these photos serve as a means of bringing us together,” Knuckles said.
