Announcing the 2019 Harvard Horizons Scholars

Eight scholars appointed studying topics from glass sea sponges to musical Esperanto.

GSAS is pleased to announce the 2019 Harvard Horizons Scholars, who have been selected by the Harvard Horizons Faculty Fellows as representatives of the extraordinary researchers who make up Harvard’s PhD community. These eight students form the seventh class of the Society of Horizons Scholars, a fellowship cohort that offers opportunities for long-lasting community, mentorship, and professional and academic growth. The scholars will receive in-depth mentoring on the art of effective presentation, preparing them for a campus-wide symposium on April 10, 2019, at 4:30 p.m. in Sanders Theatre.
