2021 Melvin Lurie Memorial Prize Award Ceremony

We came part way back!  We did a hybrid presentation with some collecting in the UWM Union Alumni Fireside Lounge and others watching remotely.  All told, we had an excellent crowd.

After correcting some audio issues, here’s Director John Heywood’s welcoming address:
