Passing the door at the Big Red Barn Party

Damla Ahipasaoglu congratulates Chris Provan as she and Pascal Tomacek pass the traditional Door Prize to Provan and Martina Gancarova.  The prize is awarded to first year Ph.D. students at the 2006 annual Big Red Barn Party at the Andrew Dickson White House at Cornell.  The prize entitles the recipients to organize the following spring's picnic.  The Big Red Barn Party is named for a former venue on the Cornell campus.   Photo by P.
