VASSARXCTF QUARTERLY
VASSARXCTF QUARTERLY
WINTER 2016
The goal here is to connect current Vassar College Cross Country and Track athletes to our amazing Alumni/Parent/Family network. If you majored in similar areas, currently work in a related field, or know someone who does, we hope that you take the moment to reach out and make that connection.
We all know what it's like to not absolutely know what we'd like to do after Vassar, and a quick conversation with someone who's been there or is there now could make a big difference to our Seniors!
Please let Coach Justin (juharris@vassar.edu) know if you're interested in connecting with one of them!
