Cool things about my job

Most days work is pretty routine, but the past 2 weeks I've got to do some pretty cool things...

On October 21st, I hung out with Katie Hnida (blonde in the middle), the first woman to play and score in a Division I football game.  She came to campus to talk about sexual assault.


On October 27th, my class helped out with a Halloween party for children from a local after school program.


On November 2nd, I went with another one of my classes to the Greater Boston Food Bank where we helped sort 6,198 pounds of food which will provide 4,760 meals.


Today, I went with my class to the Naval War College in Newport, RI to tour the USS Buckeley.


All in a days work!
