Harvard Today: March 31, 2015

Happy Tuesday, Harvard! Freshmen, we hope your first day of Advising Fortnight went well, and that you’ve found a ton of events with your favorite free food. So much so that you are  willing to pretend to learn about different concentrations over the next few weeks. Everyone else, hopefully your concentration will be holding events where you can “represent” the field (i.e. eat the leftover free food).
