Welcome to the GSAS Bulletin’s new contest! Each month, we’ll ask readers to share a trick of the trade — a survival skill they’ve picked up during their Harvard years — a breakthrough they’ve discovered (or a hack they’ve built) to make the burdens of grad school just a little less heavy.

Test your knowledge, and share your advice!

We’ll pick the most creative, useful, and best answer(s) from among your responses. We’ll publish the winning answer online and in the next print edition, and we’ll send a GSAS totebag in return.

(Note: The number of winners will depend on the quality and quantity of the submissions, but it will be capped at 5 per month.)

The contest is open only to students at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. When submitting, include your full name and your department/program. We allow only one submission per person per contest.
