As of October 1, the U.S. government has shut down. Key agencies that Harvard international students, scholars, and employees interact with will be affected until the shutdown resolves. Many are fee-funded and should generally remain operational, but delays are possible.
While the past several months have brought many challenges for Harvard’s international community, it can be helpful to take a break from your studies or research and enjoy the warm weather. You are an essential part of our community, both on campus and off, and we hope you’ll have a chance to participate in some of the many activities and events happening throughout the summer.
We encourage all incoming Harvard international students and scholars to attend the HIO “Getting Started – Part 1” Orientation on Zoom. We will cover a wide range of topics to help you prepare for your program at Harvard. We also offer a monthly Zoom orientation for spouses and partners. Advance registration is not required; you can find the schedule for all orientations and the Zoom meeting link here.
