According to Sarah Berg '06, "It was lovely to meet Prof. Steensma Hoag and see her work. What a great way to see the fruits of Calvin's talent and expertise on display! She should be very proud. The reception was very busy...we had a nice time with alumni. Afterward we went to Old Ebbit Grill for some crab cakes!"
