In 2021, the world started to open up again, and we were thrilled to greet our visitors in LYH. Whether that was through visiting one of our universities and colleges, enjoying our outdoor recreation, or our historic downtown and food scene, we are so glad you came! Now that the year is coming to a close, we want to take some time to recap some of our most special memories of this past year, and what better way to do this than by sharing our top 10 Instagram posts from 2021? We hope you enjoy looking through these memories as much as we have, and we look forward to 2022!
