The board of directors of Harvard Student Agencies (HSA) last night chose Catherine J. Turco '99 as its next president, from a field of three candidates.
She who will take office on Feb. 1.
Current HSA President Amit A. Tiwari '98 said that Turco's dedication to the organization makes her very qualified for the job.
