...everyone in our crew though!THC: It’s your last Pudding Premiere on Friday... Reactions?WBP: Obviously it’s very exciting. The Pudding is such a great experience, weighed down with a lot of history, and I love how Harvard can take tradition and let students make it completely their own. That which is old is new again.
