As of the close of 2016, Mike Brown and Joe Safirstein have stepped down from the OOAA and have been replaced by Drs. Lauren Weber and Jeff Pace, who both graduated in 2015. Staying on for one more year will be Dr. Dan Phillips. The operations of the OOAA will remain largely unchanged until the new leadership is acclimated and ready to add their own twists to our traditions. Please join me in welcoming Jeff and Lauren to the OOAA.-- Joe Safirstein
