Welcome back,
Leo Fernandez
The lecture hall has been a little quieter without you. We saved your seat, kept the chalk warm, and we cannot wait to have you back.
First lecture back in
The things we kept meaning to tell you
The whiteboard is exactly how you left it
Half a proof in the corner, a doodle nobody dared erase, and three questions still waiting for your answer.
Your office plant pulled through
Watered on a strict rotation by people who refused to let it become a cautionary tale. It is taller than when you left.
We finally understood that one lecture
The one you said would 'click later.' It clicked. We owe you a coffee and an apology for the blank stares.
Someone is sitting in your usual chair
We have asked them to vacate it immediately upon your return. They have been warned. Twice.
Come say hello in person
Sign Leo's welcome-back card
Be the first to sign the card. Your note shows up here right away.
Glad you’re home, Leo.
