May you all have a happy and prosperous New Year! ✌️🖐️🎉 Illustration: Jenny Baek '25
Three cartoon beavers celebrating New Year's against a vibrant background of colorful fireworks. In the foreground, two beavers are smiling widely—one on the left is blowing a party horn, while the one on the right is wearing a shirt that reads "CLASS OF 2025." In the center background, a smaller beaver is holding sparklers and wearing "2025" glasses.

The company's COVID vaccine put it on the map, and it hopes bringing its work force together at the new site spurs further discoveries.

Have a happy and safe #4thofJuly weekend! We hope the fireworks are spectacular. 🎆 Illustration: MIT student Jenny Baek
An illustration that reads, “Fourth of July.” One Beaver is running while holding a sparkler. Another Beaver in a lab coat fell backwards while holding a four layerd cake and the cake is tipping backward over his head and there is a panicked looking beaver behind them trying to hold them up while another panicked looking beaver is running to help. There is a fifth beaver dressed as the Statue of Liberty and a sixth beaver looking very cool standing while wearing sunglasses. In the very upper right corner there is the Great Dome with fireworks shooting out of it.
