The Class of 2020 has spent the past several months collaborating remotely to investigate the thesis topic: The Futures of Nearness through the lens of Food Supply, Workplace, Media and Entertainment, Intimacy, and Retail.

The Class of 2020 has sought to reimagine a future where connection to each other and the world continues to fuel our humanity.
