Co-owned by Bill and Donna Strauss. Know for its incredibly rigorous training and expense, that often burns out many of the high level gymnasts before getting to the Olympics. Past olympians include: Kristen Malloney, '00, and Kim Kelly, '92.

Pharketing

An email, or other communication, sent with a link to a seemingly useful resource but that really is just testing to see if your email address is active and if this kind of resource might be of use to you. The pharketer will then add your email to a distribution list for more pharketing messages to be sent or given to a company as a genuine lead. Not malicious, but certainly worth being wary of. See also pharming and phishing.
I received another pharketing email today!
