Harvard has always been interested in the holistic development of its students, as evidenced by its commitment, among other things, to public service and a unique residential plan, with the presence of proctors, tutors, and local dining halls.
The Freshman Dean’s Office, in particular, has launched initiatives to encourage you to think about important moral, ethical, and civic issues (examples include: proctor-led exercises at the start of the year regarding “Community Living Scenarios,” Community Conversations (about summer readings), invitations to the “Reflecting on Your Life” series, the Leadership Summit, Student-Faculty Luncheons about ethical topics, and classwide emails from the Dean on topics ranging from “Why Vote?” to “Communicating in a Kind and Candid Way about Blocking.”
