We intended to get a group photo with Dr. Schulz holding his Mentor Award. Unfortunately, someone forgot (purposely?) to bring it. That's okay though, one of us has gotten pretty good at @inkscape .

Another group photo! We came out to celebrate awards, graduations, more awards, and those moving on to exciting new opportunities! Also, there was talk of free food. @ClaytorLakePark

The @SchulzLabVT had a good night last Friday. We'll start with the big one, our boss winning the Outstanding Mentor Award! We've known it all along, but we're glad it's now certified. But that's not all...

Would a trip through West Virginia be complete without visiting the #Mothman museum? Maybe, but we didn't want to risk its wrath.
