Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well with the upcoming holiday season right around the corner and getting ready for a little holiday break. Sadly this will be my last email blast to the recreation community as I will be leaving Harvard to take a new position at another institution. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Harvard and will miss the classes, clients and friends I have made along the way. It is unsure who will be sending you the email blast upon my departure, but be on the lookout as they will continue to come and keep you updated with all the recreation news!
