From the Office of the Resident Dean, Michael Uy:

Deerest Meese, I hope you had a wonderful weekend, appreciating the pretty autumnal colors along the river – I find the red leaves especially gorgeous! Today (November 15th) is the withdraw deadline: the form is found on the Registrar’s webpage and requires your signature, your advisor’s signature, and my signature; it needs to be submitted by 11:59pm tonight. On Thursday, November 18th, our sophomores will all officially become grown-up concentrators and we could not be prouder J We will celebrate with cake, desserts, banners, and balloons in the JCR at 7:30pm – come write a letter to your future self! Harvard-Yale is this Saturday at New Haven – please have fun, but please take care of yourselves and others. Lastly, congratulations to the winners of Trivia Night Fall 2021! Alan, Elliott, Nour, Hemanth, and Nathaniel (our youngest winner ever!) formed the winning team, beating 13 other groups. Victory, glory, honor are all yours J Thank you, of course, to the best co-host in the world, Jiho! If you couldn’t make it this time around, come next semester! Sending Dunster Love to you all ️

 

Please continue to be mindful of Harvard's Honor Code as you are completing your psets, finishing your projects, and taking your exams. Know that there are always resources to help you and that if you have any questions or concerns, you should reach out to your professors, TFs, and me.
