Dunster House
From the Office of the Resident Dean, Michael Uy
Deerest Meece, Happy Fifth Monday ❤ I hope all of your classes are going well and that you are learning many wonderful things! It’s worth double checking now your my.harvard schedule so that you are enrolled in all of the correct courses. Fixing any mistakes will save you many headaches later! Today, the 22nd, is the last to add/drop a class.
I know many of you are in full swing with assignments and exams. For seniors writing theses, I know you’re coming to the finish line, with all of the pressure and exhaustion that comes with completing a major accomplishment! We’re all rooting for your success, whether you’re a sophomore, junior, or senior. Even as you focus on academics, and even as we continue living apart, don’t give up hope that things will get better, or let pessimism take over that nothing is worth it anymore. You matter to me and I know many, many more people who also care very deeply for you! Let’s reach out to each other and connect, even when we know Zoom can suck compared to in person. Please continue to practice safe Covid-19 precautions, eat well, drink water, sleep, exercise, and reach out. Sending Dunster Love to you and back.
Student Hours: Tuesday, 10 am-12 noon, Thursday 2-4 pm, and Friday, 2-3 pm EST; Student Hours Zoom Link
