Because of You

By UNC Asheville

February 2^nd, 2021

Because of you,

We returned to campus,

We continued to learn,

We made new discoveries,

We upheld community expectations,

We engaged in our democracy,

We rallied against racism,

We didn't back down...

Because of you,

We ran longer, swam faster, and jumped further.

We went all in.

We dug deeper,

and deeper,

and we overcame.

Because of you,

We know that we will continue in 2021 with more compassion for ourselves, and for each other...

Because we...

...are more than a university. We are a community.
