Dive into the Connecticut River: An Evening with Kari Kastango

Join us at the Library for “Embracing the Connecticut River,” a conversation with Kari Kastango, a member of the Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) Board of Trustees.

Date: Tuesday, August 20, 2024
Time: 5:30 pm

Kari Kastango started her career as a research exercise physiologist (UMASS, Amherst ’89, ’92) and later pursued a PhD in Biostatistics (PITT ’06). With over 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, Kari is currently a director of biostatistics at a clinical research organization. She balances her professional and personal commitments through meditative physical activities. Kari lives in South Hadley, MA, with her wife, Alison Garvey, and their two cats. Remarkably, on October 15, 2023, Kari became the first person to swim the entire 410-mile length of the Connecticut River!

The Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) works to protect, restore, and advocate for clean water, healthy habitats, and resilient communities throughout the entire Connecticut River watershed, from its headwaters to Long Island Sound.

This event is co-sponsored by the Library.
