On Thursday, April 21, the Class of 2026 participated in the annual 8th Grade Career Day, which took place at three different sites: Harvard Medical School, Northeastern University Law School or Solid Biosciences.
Students who visited Harvard Medical School took part in a hands-on laboratory clinic. The group at Northeastern University School of Law met faculty, including Professor Stevie Leahy P25, 26, and law students in an interactive panel discussion. A third group went to Solid Biosciences in Cambridge to learn about research into genetic diseases where they met with Annie Ganot P26, co-founder and head of Patient Advocacy. A highlight of their trip was extracting DNA from strawberries.
When the 8th graders returned to school, they were treated to a program led by Dana Hall’s Director of College Counseling Cara Hanig.
