THE THINGS THAT LAST
Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

Six alumni embrace the enduring qualities that matter most At the outset, 2020 seemed like any other year. We made resolutions. We made puns about clearer vision in 2020. And it didn’t take long for that to change. First, news reports and hand sanitizer. Then sobering statistics and warnings about “flattening the curve” and “social distancing” that sent many of us home for work and school. Through it all, we have tenaciously prayed for scientists who search for answers; we have relied on our healthcare professionals; and we have hoped for a quick return to normal. We have also worked to focus on the qualities that matter most—community, resilience, creativity, innovation, faith, hope, and love. During the pandemic, WWU alumni have embodied these enduring qualities for a hurting world. Here, six of them share how they have faced COVID-19 their own way.
