On December 6th, the Fall 2024 exchange students gathered one last time to celebrate a memorable semester together. While it was bittersweet to bid farewell to our dear friends Naho and Mikoto, the evening was anything but somber. The holiday spirit was in full swing with ornament decorating, hot cocoa, friendship bracelet making, coloring pages, and an abundance of tasty snacks. The night’s highlight came when Raven Showalter presented Naho and Mikoto with certificates of completion, honoring their time and contributions here at Mary Baldwin. It was a heartfelt moment, surrounded by laughter and the warmth of shared memories. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this gathering the perfect send-off. It was truly the best way to wrap up the semester!
