WinterFest Celebration

With snow still falling in Boston in March, winter has seemed particularly long this year. But HSPH members reveled with hot chocolate, apple cider, and cookies at Winter Celebration on February 11 in the Kresge cafeteria. Landmark Center threw a similar party on February 17.
