Student Engagement

Harvard Griffin GSAS students have numerous opportunities to engage with one another around shared interests and to develop leadership skills.

The Student Center at Harvard Griffin GSAS offers social, intellectual, and recreational activities designed to help Harvard Griffin GSAS students make connections outside of the classroom, lab, or library, and across the various academic programs and campus locations at Harvard Griffin GSAS.
