The Summer Institute offers students the opportunity to meet and build social and professional networks with fellow incoming PhD students, staff, and faculty prior to the start of the academic year. The Summer Institute is also an opportunity to experience a preview of graduate school and participate in professional development workshops to ease the transition into graduate school.

###    Culture & Community Workshop  expand\_more  

 

Established in 2019, the Culture and Community Workshop is a community-building workshop for incoming cohorts of first-year PhD students that takes place at the beginning of their first semester of graduate school. Students leave the workshop with: (1) A greater awareness and appreciation of the perspectives, experiences, and cultures that they and their peers bring to their cohort, program, and Harvard and (2) Concrete action steps toward building and sustaining an inclusive culture and community in their cohort and program, including effective dialogue and collaboration across backgrounds and viewpoints. The workshop is also part of the Harvard Griffin GSAS and HMS commitment to fostering open inquiry.
