Every April 23, Catalonia fills its streets with books and roses 🌹📖 — a tradition celebrating literature, love, and Sant Jordi Day. A&S brought that spirit to campus for Books & Roses, honoring A&S faculty and staff who published books this year. Cupcakes, music, roses, and great company. Congratulations to all of our authors!
