Since its inception in 2008, Harvard Housing residents have been fortunate to hear from dozens of prominent Harvard faculty, local business leaders, and alumni as part of our "Meet the Scholar" speaker series. Topics ranged from public policy to the fine arts and beyond. This past year has taught us that we are all deeply connected and committed to creating a flourishing and thriving community. Because of this, we are excited to announce the theme for the 2025 Meet the Scholar series: Welcome to our Global Village.
Join us as renowned Harvard scholars share diverse perspectives through intimate discussions on building inclusive communities, the power of global health efforts, immigrant and refugee journeys, and how museums and art affect our world. These gatherings, hosted by our Faculty Directors in common spaces, offer a unique opportunity to engage directly with brilliant minds outside of a traditional classroom setting.
