Student Center Fellows are Harvard Griffin GSAS students who create programs for graduate students. The programs take place at Lehman Hall, in the Boston area and elsewhere in New England, and virtually. All Harvard Griffin GSAS students—including those based in the Longwood and Allston areas—and their partners, spouses, children, and guests, as well as students living in Harvard Griffin GSAS residence halls, are welcome to participate.
The Student Center Fellows work in various program areas to create events, including film series, wine tastings, meditation sessions, short story clubs, days of service, family music-making classes, ski trips, dance lessons, and bike trips. The Student Center at Harvard Griffin GSAS is also home to a literary magazine, language tables, and several musical ensembles.
Also, look out for the weekly newsletter Get the Scoop, sent every Friday during the academic year. This newsletter is sent to all students at Harvard Griffin GSAS and highlights upcoming Student Center Fellows events. All students at Harvard Griffin GSAS are automatically enrolled.
