...University. I really look forward to interacting with alumni—it’s something I enjoy. There’s a lot of exciting things going on at Harvard that I want to tell them about. I know a lot of them already, and it will be fun to see them in my new role and be able to talk about more than just Radcliffe, and I look forward to meeting the ones I don’t know.
