Outings 2009-2010
Dudley Outings Fellows organize trips around the Boston area and further afield throughout the academic year. Past and future outings include whale watching, hiking, kayaking, camping, walking tours, sporting events, musicals, and many other fun events. Some outings require advance tickets, which can be purchased in the House Office on the 3rd floor of Dudley House (Lehman Hall). Ticketed outings are open to Dudley House members, though members may bring one guest for some outings. See individual outings descriptions for more information.
