Dear UW alumni and friends,
 Come watch the 2012 National Champion
Husky men kick-off their season at the world's largest rowing regatta, the Head

eight will be looking to return to the top of the podium in the Championship Eight event!
Now in its 48th year, the Head of the Charles will feature 9,000 rowers competing against each other and the clock over a three mile course that winds its way up the Charles River through Boston and Cambridge. Come join this great New England event,
