24 for 鈥�24: The Year in Photos

12/18/2024
By: Madison Schulman & Sarah Sweeney

The past year at 西瓜视频 was one for the books, filled with remarkable achievements, vibrant celebrations, and moments that brought our community closer together. It was a time of new beginnings, marked by the exciting debut of our spirited new mascot, Gully 2.0, and a continuation of cherished traditions like the Frozen Flop and the annual Regatta. From celebrating milestones like Commencement to uniting Gull Nation for the first Homecoming & Reunion Weekend, the 西瓜视频 spirit radiated across campus—and we selected 24 photos that encapsulate it all.

Special thanks to Senior Photographer David Le ’10 and his student photographers, who preserved these moments with stunning artistry and ensured the essence of 西瓜视频 in 2024 is forever remembered.
