Conor Shapiro ’03 is the director of St. Boniface Hospital in Haiti. He was inspired by one of his former professors to travel there and has been there ever since. The video clip is a short documentary by two teenagers who travel to Haiti to document the work of the St. Boniface Foundation. Clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tw_6sHxzmLM
The Snow Bowl was featured on local news this week, so feel free to check out the video at http://www.fox44now.com/. Scroll down to “Top Video,” and click on the story on the top right “New Ski Lift For…” A point of clarification is that we’ve actually raised $900,000 for the project, not the $600,000 that was quoted in the video.
A complete presentation of the White Whale presentation on the new home page can be found here. It’s a bit long, but gives you an idea of where it’s going. It’s pretty neat, and worth the watch if you have some free time!

“The Keeper of the Kohn,” a documentary on Peter Kohn, Middlebury College field manager, who was recently inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame and who has worked with generations of Middlebury athletes, is now available on Hulu. It will be the featured video on Hulu’s documentary home page tomorrow. Here’s the link: http://www.hulu.com/watch/62676/keeper-of-the-kohn?c=News-and-Information. It’s an inspiring view, I recommend it for all of you, whether you played lacrosse or not.
