On the Far Side of ___ represents these extremes, questioning where our limits truly lie and how far we can be pushed when we cannot back down. 2020 challenged us to adapt and overcome when it seemed like the world was crashing down around us. Cities shut down overnight, working from home became the new norm for those of us privileged enough to do so, students migrated to Zoom for online classes, and we all relearned how to communicate with others through a screen when it was no longer safe to do so in person. We experienced shifts in our routines everyday, as we emerged from challenge after challenge. ULTRA V honours the incredible students who rose to this challenge of forging ahead with their education and lives during the most tumultuous year of our lives so far (may it also be the most tumultuous year in our lives, period).
