Awards/Recognition

   Douglas Purdy 

Douglas Purdy is from Medford, Massachusetts. He has been working out on a regular basis for about 4-5 years. His fitness goals for the next year are to keep up weekly workouts and possibly join a masters swim team. When asked what he likes about Alumni/Wang he said “We are so fortunate here at MIT to not have one pool, but two.  And that they are available starting early morning through the evening is very convenient, so we swimmers  can’t use the excuse that the pool was closed.” Doug works as support staff here at MIT. His hobbies are writing fiction, reading literature, watching film, baseball and Guinness.
