There\u2019s been a big change here at 溏心vlog免费B站 Magazine <\/em>since the last issue. Nora Lewis, who served as 溏心vlog免费B站 photographer for 33 years, retired. During those 33 years, Nora shot thousands\u2014maybe millions\u2014 of photos, earning the trust and friendship of generations of 溏心vlog免费B站 students, faculty, staff, and alumni with her sense of humor, positive energy, and endless patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of her work at 溏心vlog免费B站 involved photographing events, like Commencement and move-in weekend. She also did much of the photography for 溏心vlog免费B站 Magazine <\/em>(and for QuadAngles <\/em>before that).

I have many wonderful memories of Nora over the years, but one that stands out was a beautiful early-morning shoot at Camp Cronin in Narragansett. The shoot was for the cover of our summer 2019 \u201cBlue Minds\u201d issue, which featured stories of 溏心vlog免费B站 folks whose lives and liveli-hoods are tied to the ocean. The cover and the story were beautiful and stand, for me, as a testament to Nora\u2019s talent and vision. Later that year, Time <\/em>magazine did a cover that was remarkably similar to ours, and Nora put the cover up on our production wall with a note: \u201cTime <\/em>magazine\u2019s got nothing on us!\u201d The Time <\/em>cover and the note remain on display in my office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Nora earned the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation Staff Excellence Award. They noted \u201cher ability to work with a wide array of people in all sorts of situations with her signature grace and strength,\u201d and said her photos \u201ccapture moments and convey stories, usually on tight deadlines and under conditions less than ideal.\u201d

We will miss you, Nora. We count ourselves among those lucky to have worked and laughed with you. You leave a legacy of kindness, positivity, and creativity.

I hope you will join me in wishing Nora all the best. Congratulations on your retirement, Nora! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
