Waking Up a Ghost Town is the cover story of the September 2021 edition of Mustang News, a local newspaper of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The article analyzes the reactions and anticipation of students and faculty to returning in-person classes after the Covid-19 Pandemic.
 

The Cover Image presents a striking juxtaposition of the empty campus street with the photo of the same crowded street taken before the pandemic. The colorized elements of the otherwise black and white photographs of the mostly empty campus of Cal Poly represent the new life and energy emerging as students come back to camps.
