Such great heights—and sights

Twice a year, during Scare Fair in October and in the weeks leading up to Commencement, University of Rochester students can ascend the iconic tower of Rush Rhees Library to enjoy 360-degree views of campus and the city skyline. Missed the most recent tower tour? Enjoy this drone shot and mark your calendars for your next opportunity to participate in a Rochester tradition. 

Laurel Lawson hovers above the stage, arms and wheels lifted, supported by Alice Sheppard who partners her from below. Alice is on her back, lifting Laurel, locking eyes and opening her arms in embrace. They are surrounded by small wood ramps and bathed in cool blue light. Laurel is a white dancer with cropped blue hair and Alice is a multiracial Black woman with short curly hair; their skin, shimmery costumes and chairs reflect the light.
