Magic, mouse ears, and memories. My senior class returned from our class trip to Orlando last night, and although tired, we're excited to begin our next to last term. Spending two days in Disney and one in Universal, we truly made the most out of every minute. My favorite ride was the Millennium Falcon, not just because of the actual ride, but because of the memory that's associated with it. Two other friends and I decided to ride it with Mr. Dolbeare, Dr. Ortell, and Dr. Hoyle. With our pilots not knowing up from down, and our engineers getting stuck in their seatbelts, it was an adventure to say the least. Overall, out of our class trips, this has been my favorite. This trip has helped us all confirm that it truly is #seniorseason.

ASMS alumna,
Anna Word (class of 2014)

She has been working with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as a technician researching cancer immunology where she connected with a post-doc member of her team, Dr. Jeffrey Ishizuka.
