Congratulations to the four students who have been elected to represent West House on the Student Assembly Senate! They are: John R. Lewis III ’17, Chenguang Li ’18, Anabel Moreno-Mendez ’19, and Timothy Holman ’20
As midterms approach, students in introductory courses in Biology, Chemistry, Econ, and Math should consider taking advantage of our Resident Experts who offer support for these courses in the basement study room of Butterfield. See details below!
