UIW Unsung Hero
Lynn works hard for the university by day, but we bet you didn't know that she actually knows how to play the clarinet and bass clarinet!
Be sure to give Lynn a big thanks for all her hard work over the years the next time you see her (and maybe pause for an impromptu musical duet!).
