Gus Mayopoulos: Comedian-in-Chief
Gus Mayopoulos has a mission, and his humor, when it’s employed, is a tool aimed at increasing the UC’s relevancy. And regardless of how efficacious a president he’ll turn out to be, you can’t deny he’s taking things seriously.
Gus and Sietse Enter Mass Hall
Gus and Sietse enter Massachusetts Hall to speak with Harvard University President Drew Faust on Thursday, February 20. While President Faust did not grant their request of $250,000, she advised them to speak to College administrators about their cause.

The Drinking Games
It’s 9 p.m. on a Friday night, and Serena and five friends from her freshman entryway are getting ready for the annual freshman formal.

Harvard Club Shield

Harvard’s Three Things: An Origin Story Laid Bare
