Gathering to Honor & Remember Andrew Dowe
Thursday, February 11, 5:30pm ET on Zoom
Last weekend we lost an amazing friend, mentor and companion, Andrew Dowe. Join fellow staff, faculty and post-docs who are mourning Andrew’s loss. We’ll make a toast to Andrew, have space to share stories and memories, and do one of Andrew’s favorite meditations together. All are welcome. Andrew had this amazing ability to make everyone he encountered feel like they were the most important person in the room, so feel free to join us whether you feel as if you knew Andrew well or not.
