“I like to row. That’s one of my favorite activities here at Harvard. I fell into the water the other day and lost my glasses, but you live and learn, right?”
Tom Galstian
“I took the courses not only to get a strong foundation, but also to see if I would enjoy pursuing them in my real life for a career.”
Sisters Lida and Konstantina Papathanasiou
