PLANS AFTER GRADUATION: 'I[apos]d like to get into working with animals right away after graduating, possibly get a job at a racetrack working with horse trainers and veterinarians. Then with the experience, I[apos]d like to go to veterinarian school or graduate school for zoology and animal behavior.' HARSLEY ON ROWING AT UCONN: 'Rowing at UConn was the best decision I have ever made. It[apos]s been the most challenging, humbling and rewarding experience I[apos]ve ever had. It[apos]s had a lot of ups and downs, and there were many times I wanted to quit , but the team always kept me going. I[apos]ve been on a lot of teams before, but there[apos]s nothing like being a part of a crew where you are literally dependent on the person in front of you. A lot of what I have learned in the past four years at UConn has come from my teammates, and I love them for it. And because of UConn rowing, I[apos]ll probably be doing the UConn chant at my wedding.'
