Good luck to all those participating in today's Boston Marathon! 

Runner or not, we're all in the race towards the end of the semester. Sometimes it feels more like a sprint than a marathon, so why not take a break with us? Join us as we celebrate National Poetry Month, Earth Day, and student performances with a variety of programs over the next few weeks.

Need another excuse for some respite? Make sure you save the date for our first ever study break!
