Mooseletter - 3/29/21


From the Office of the Resident Dean, Michael Uy

Deer Meese, Less than a month to go until the end of classes! Gosh the end is in sight to this year of virtual learning! I hope everyone is doing ok and staying safe and healthy. I look forward to this Wednesday’s Wellness day and I hope you’re able to take at least a little bit of time for yourself, even if you are catching up on (some) work. I’ve got a virtual lunch with several students I’m looking forward to, and an afternoon trip to get boba. Or maybe you could watch this SNL skit of Maya Rudolph portraying Beyoncé in a Hot Ones episode – thanks to Bella for the rec and the belief that our episode was even hotter. (Clearly, HoCo’s timing is “impeckable.”) Please don’t forget that next Monday (April 5th) is the Eleventh Monday, which is the last day to change a course from Letter Grade to Pass/Fail (or vice versa), as well as the last day to withdraw from a course. Please continue to be mindful of Harvard’s Honor Code and remember that there are always resources to help you, including the ARC and UHS/CAMHS – not to mention your tutors, TFs, advisors, and deans. No matter what you’re going through, you’re not going through it alone <3 Sending Dunster Love.
