Dunster House
From the Office of the Resident Dean, Michael Uy
Deerest Meece, happy last three days of Zoom learning! Hopefully we won’t have to take/teach a Zoom class for a long, long, long time! At least that’s my desire. As we enter into reading period, with final projects and exams, please continue to keep in mind Harvard’s Honor Code. Know that there are always resources to help you and that if you have any questions or concerns, that you should reach out to your professors, TFs, and/or me. The last day to take a leave of absence for Spring 2021 is this Thursday, April 29th. Make sure you complete the enrollment and housing forms on my.harvard for Fall 2021. I know that there may be a whole range of potential stressors and causes for distress, including the continued pandemic – and growing struggle in India and South Asia – the shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, and personal physical and mental health. Please continue to take care of yourselves and of each other, and don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Despite the awful allergies, I hope you’re able to appreciate some of the sun and warm weather. Dunster Love.
Student Hours: Tuesday 10 am-12 noon, Thursday and Friday 2-4 pm ET.
