Grad Fest Redefined
Grad Fest is a month-long festival of both in-person and virtual events focused on connection, wellbeing, and sense of belonging for graduate students and their families across Harvard!
This year’s theme – REDEFINING - centers around dedicating time and space for graduate students and their families to reflect and redefine individual and community needs in our new world.
Grad Fest is Sponsored by the Office of President & Provost, The Harvard Graduate Council, The Harvard Graduate School of Education, The Harvard Business School, The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, The T.H. Chan School of Public Health, John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the Harvard Graduate Commons Program.
