As colleges, universities, and other institutions re-open their doors this fall and welcome students on their physical campus, social events will resume.

COVID-19 has pushed us to evolve toward a virtually centered world. More so than we ever have been. Whether it is virtual learning, virtual work, or just simple interactions with friends or family.
