Tell Us About It Mathew Ganatra (who goes by Ganatra) was a Burton Conner resident who stepped up to organize the move-out at the cost of his own time, energy, and well-being. Working as many as 20 hours a day, Ganatra coordinated the use of the Burton Conner storage room for most of the week, enabling even those with rushed flights to safely stow away their belongings before heading home. He even manned the storage room and the desk checkout alone for most of those hours. And he kept us posted with the latest information on move-out procedures during a confusing, rapidly changing situation.

Ganatra was also a senior who had spent his four years of undergrad in this dorm, and I know that he would've loved to have had more of his precious last few days to spend with friends and to say goodbye to his home. For his efforts and his sacrifices, I would like to offer my most sincere gratitude to Ganatra for helping all of us give the best farewell to Burton Conner that we could.
