Garin is the president of Peter D. Hart Research Associates, also a leading national survey research firm. He has a similarly expansive résumé, having helped the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the AFL-CIO, and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.

By her senior year, she was co-captain of the Crimson along with teammate Lindsay Hart. “Her strength is leading in terms of what she does in the water and what she does behind the scenes,” Head Coach Stephanie Morawski said. “She can inspire people vocally, and she can also do it in the pool...
