Ever Better

Meliora Moments

"Meliora" is the University of Rochester's motto, meaning "Ever Better." We all remember a special moment–a Meliora Moment–when we were encouraged or inspired to be “ever better” and, as a result, we accomplished something we never dreamed we could. What's your Meliora Moment?
