The Graduate School Fund: Investing in Great Minds

In honor of the Chemistry and Chemical Biology departmental reunion, the Graduate School Fund will be leading an effort to raise financial support for graduate students. Help us raise as many graduate fellowships as possible ($25,000/student of current-use support) and make a gift today. All gifts in honor of the reunion, big and small, are deeply appreciated and will be counted toward the total.

GSAS Alumni Day

We invite you to stay on campus for GSAS Alumni Day, Saturday, April 14, featuring a keynote address by climate change expert Daniel Schrag, Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology and Director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment, entitled "The Question of Nature: A Geological Perspective on Human-Induced Climate Change." The day will feature faculty symposia from across the disciplines and a collegial luncheon at the Harvard Faculty Club!
