plans of study

by Thomas A. Lewis

Dear Religion Concentrators, I hope your semester is going well. As I mentioned at our meeting at the beginning of the semester, it is very important that we receive updated Plans of Study from you every year. We have already received updated forms from many of you, but some of you still need to get them in. We have developed newer versions of the forms (which are also known as "Plan of Concentration Forms"). These can be downloaded from the department website: <http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~csrel/forms.html>http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~csrel/forms.html. (You can still use either the new or the old forms.) If you haven't submitted a new plan of study, please do so as soon as possible. Best wishes, Thomas A.
