| | | To celebrate Presidents' Day today, we present to you a moose. Why a moose? Because it resembles the Dunster House mascot, of course! Named for Harvard's first president, Dunster House adopted the moose as its mascot in recognition of the elk found on the Dunster family crest.
We're continuing to celebrate this week with the return of Art Talks Live, a new Student Guide Tour, and a mosaic workshop. And we're already thinking toward the future with opportunities to hang out with us over Spring and Summer Breaks! Check it all out below! |
