Dunster, Leverett, Mather

DUNSTER

Susan Olsen

Dining Hall Cook

FM: What’s your favorite time of the year in Dunster?

SO: My favorite time of the year is Christmas time when they put the great big Christmas tree in the corner, and all the lights are up. It’s kind of a magical place around Christmas time, probably just that because it’s probably a 30-foot Christmas tree, and I’ve never seen anything that big so—right in that corner, it goes all the way up to the second picture, up there.

LEVERETT

Mary E. Correia

Lead Supervisor of Dining Hall Staff

FM: What’s your favorite view in Leverett?

MEC: It’s the first place I’ve worked at with windows, and I love it because I love the daylight, the sunlight, and especially being here on the river, near the water. I also think it’s really cute when they dress up in their bunny costumes and go all around.

MATHER

Arun Malik

Security Guard

FM: What’s your favorite Mather tradition?

AM: Well, it’s a recent tradition, but I’ve noticed when whenever they make the Mather video, each year, they dress up in tights that make them look like clowns and they all have the synchronous dancing, and they play “Our House” or whatever. I think it’s a tradition Mather needs to continue because if you go to YouTube as a freshman and take a look at “Our House” or “Mather the Movie,” you’ll want to move into Mather immediately. You’ll curse the gods that you didn’t win the lottery. But it’s not just watching the videos—it’s watching them make the videos, and the fun they have coming up with the various scripts and ideas. And I hope this becomes a tradition.
