On March 28, the Alumni Office traveled to Westwood to celebrate the kickoff of The Webb Fund March Madness Challenge with local alumni. Many thanks to Verhan Henderson '95 of Tavern LA for hosting us at this great location.

A raw diet for dogs? That's what Noa Martinsen '00 says helped bring his rescue pup, Batman, back to good health. Noa recently learned about hTMA biochemistry optimization.
