Harvard Griffin GSAS Student Center Fellows are Harvard Griffin GSAS students who create programs for graduate students. The programs take place virtually, at Lehman Hall, in the Boston area, or elsewhere in New England. All Harvard Griffin GSAS students, including those based in 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 such as 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 performance ensembles.
