SHE'S ONE YOU DON'T FORGET World languages and cultures professor Celia Liu ("The influencers," fall 2020) is an incredible person. She always cele- brates students' achievements through ceremonies, videos, and dinners. She's also created academic fellowship between TCNJ and schools in Taiwan, which has built bridges for intercultural understanding and friendship. TCNJ is fortunate to have a professor who works tirelessly to uplift students, even long past the time they graduate. JESSICA NICOL '21 A COMMON CHORD I enjoyed reading about Chase Eisenberg (How I Got Here, spring 2022) and her ukulele playing. I learned the same instrument as a member of Ionian Sigma sorority while attending Trenton State College. Now I teach the ukulele at a resort in Waikiki, Hawaii. Happy strumming, Chase!
