+This summer, my primary goal was to get Submitty to a state where it could be used for courses on Quantum Computing. I also did substantial work on Autograding.
+
+### Quantum Computing
+
+- Built a qiskit-capable docker image for use with Submitty
+- Created various autograding examples and learning materials for professor and course use. Here are the publicly available ones:
+    - [Qiskit Circuit Draw Diff](https://github.com/Submitty/Submitty/tree/main/more_autograding_examples/qiskit_circuit_draw_diff)
+    - [Qiskit Tolerance Diff](https://github.com/Submitty/Submitty/tree/main/more_autograding_examples/qiskit_tolerance_diff)
+- Worked on Submitty's ability to connect to the internet during grading so it can contact IBMQ cloud services. Added an autograding example for this.
+    - [Networking](https://github.com/Submitty/Submitty/tree/main/more_autograding_examples/networking)
+- Developed a lab for an ongoing quantum computing course which was graded through Submitty.
+
+### Autograding
+
+- Added buildtime errors when a required capability doesn't exist or an image isn't on the required capability.
+- Fixed tolerance grading to work with various nonstandard formattings.
+- Heavily updated documentation on the `config.json` file
+- Reworked various old autograding examples to use Docker for security.
+
+### Miscellaneous & Future
+
+- Upgraded Grade Overrides such that an instructor can override a whole team at once.
+- Improved student management to allow students to rejoin courses they dropped and notify instructors of students who dropped.
+- Improved the notebook interface to work well with "short-response" answers.
+- Changed the forum search feature to be more accurate and useful, especially in regards to filenames.
+- Improved various end-to-end Cypress tests by removing flaky code.
+- Updated the `pdf-annotate.js` library to use a more secure version of `pdf.js`.
+- Allow students to select their preferred name order in the Profile page.
+- Various fixes to typos, spacing, and CSS across the site.
