FAVORITE MEMORIES OF WILLIAMS
Charlie Samuels. Clay Hunt. Jonathan Aaron.
Sneaking through the steam tunnels in February late at night after an inspiring rehearsal, all the way from Adams Memorial Theater to the pool in Lasell Gym for the warm embrace of a silent 3 a.m. forbidden swim.
Nights in sleeping bags with consenting partners when spring would finally kiss Stone Hill.

CURRENT INTERESTS, PASSIONS, AND ORGANIZATIONS
Remain devoted to poetry and the theater both as a participant and appreciator.
I support many organizations—most consistently, Medicins sans frontieres (Doctors Without Borders)
LIFE SINCE GRADUATION
Like the rest of my classmates, I have been both blessed and challenged to have come of age in a tricky era. I feel blessed by the opportunities I’ve been afforded and sustained by the education Williams provided me, and remain engaged and mystified every day by the beauties and horrors of our world.
