Quick reminder that our Monday Teas have concluded for the term, so we won’t be meeting today. Hope to see many of you before summer launches! Good luck on exams and with papers!

Hello all!
This is a marvelous exhibit! The students and teaching staff of “Gen Ed 1087: Multisensory Religion: Rethinking Islam,” invite you to our exhibit, “Beauty and Illumination.” During the course of the spring semester, students explored the complex and multifaceted relationship between religion and the arts in Muslim societies by creatively engaging with concepts and themes through a number of art projects. The exhibition showcases selected student works in a variety of media.
We hope you will be able to stop by the exhibit in the Arts Wing of the Smith Campus Center between 9-12 May as your schedule permits. For details regarding timings, see the poster below. Please note the reception on Tuesday from 4-6pm.

Stop by BARKER 308 for tea this afternoon between 3:30 and 5:00 pm! All students, faculty, and friends are welcome. Note that there may be students attending who have been admitted to Harvard College and are on campus for VISITAS, so it's a wonderful opportunity to talk about the field with prospective students! See you soon! --Courtney

Subject: student invitation to Spring Reading Period bus trip to Harvard Forest
Dear Harvard colleagues,
I write to invite your undergraduates and graduate students to sign up for a bus trip to Harvard Forest<https://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/>, Harvard’s 4,000-acre outdoor lab and classroom, on Thursday, April 28 – the first day of the Spring Reading Period. Thank you for sharing this message with them!
Transportation to/from Harvard Square (70 miles, via bus), a guided field and museum tour, and lunch on-site will be provided. There is no cost to students.
The bus departs Harvard Square at 10:00am on the 28th and will return to campus by 6:00pm.
Here is the general itinerary:
* 10:00-11:30 – Chartered bus travel to Harvard Forest
* 11:30-12:30 – Welcome and overview in the Fisher Museum (building is fully accessible<https://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/accessibility-harvard-forest#:~:text=….>)
* 12:30-1:30 – Lunch provided
* 1:30-3:45 – Guided field tour of the woods, including natural history and plant ID, a conversation about our land-focused social justice work, and of course exploration of our signature climate change research experiments. The trail will cover ~3 miles, including uneven terrain and small hills. Unfortunately the trail is not physically accessible to all, but during that timeframe, we can offer comfortable and well-connected study areas in the main building, as well as a Zoom link to participate in real-time with the field tour as it progresses through several wifi hotspots in the woods.
* 4:00-5:45 – Bus travel back to Harvard Square
Here is the registration application form:
https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aXgWmeoLTKlNniC
Some notes:
* This trip always fills extremely quickly (there are 55 spots), and we will be keeping a waiting list. Registration is first-come, first-served. If you find the registration form closed, that means the trip and waiting list are full. Students: out of courtesy to your peers, before signing up, please check your calendar carefully, and note that Harvard’s Arts First program<https://ofa.fas.harvard.edu/arts> begins that same day, which may present conflicts for many of you.
* Here at Harvard Forest, we follow the same COVID safety protocols as on campus.
* We welcome individuals with disabilities to participate in our programs and activities. I have a disability myself, so I bring a personal conviction to ensuring access for all. If you register for the trip and anticipate needing any type of accommodation not mentioned here (including questions about transportation logistics), or if you have any questions before registering, please let me know this week.
* Starting in September, Harvard Forest will be running a monthly trip of this kind, open to the Harvard FAS/GSAS student community. Please reach out via email if you would like to be included on monthly email reminders about these trips.
One way or another, we hope to see many of you at the Forest very soon! I’m here for questions!
Cheers from the woods,
Clarisse

The land Harvard Forest occupies is the unceded home territory of the Nipmuc Nation. I honor the millennia of stewardship that shaped the ecosystems surrounding us today, and the ongoing, vital role of Indigenous community members in shaping the ecosystems of tomorrow. I am personally committed to continuing to build a relationship with the Nipmuc community that ensures that this land and its life-giving benefits are mutually accessible, affirming, and sustaining.

Please forward this message to senior thesis writers in your academic department, House, or research enterprise.

CONGRATULATIONS AND AN INVITATION TO HARVARD COLLEGE SENIOR THESIS WRITERS OF 2022!
You are warmly invited to share your research experiences with your underclass peers in a new pilot program co-sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (URAF) and the Harvard College Undergraduate Council Executive Cabinet.
INTRODUCING Harvard College Research SnackChats
Here’s how Research SnackChats works: Sign up to spend an hour with one of your first-year, sophomore, or junior peers to talk about your research, how it has aligned with your academic interests, and how it evolved into a thesis. The intention of the program is to support informal peer-to-peer conversations about how research augments and enhances the undergraduate scholarly trajectory at Harvard for those students who have yet to consider conducting an independent research project . As someone who recently has submitted a senior thesis, the program also offers you the opportunity to engage in a conversation about your experiences and provide some guidance to someone who may just be thinking about research or starting out.
Research SnackChats will provide up to $25 in reimbursement from URAF for a trip to a local eatery of your choice for your 1:1 conversation!
To sign up for Research SnackChats, please complete the information on this Qualtrics form<https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8JnpuxDBIBustQW> by Wednesday, March 23, 2022. Following receipt of your registration, we will promote all Research SnackChats submissions with aspiring undergraduates considering research who sign up, with the intent to make matches happen by Friday, April 1. Then, you will have until Monday, April 25 to have your Research SnackChats conversation, after which you will be able to submit your verified receipt for reimbursement. (Please note: Our preference is to make matches with peers you do not already know. Since this is a two-way process, we cannot guarantee a match will be made.)
On behalf of URAF and the UC Executive Cabinet, I hope you take advantage of this great opportunity to share your expertise, and help a peer get started on their own research journey!
If you have questions, please feel free to write to undergradresearch(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:undergradresearch@fas.harvard.edu> . We look forward to receiving your submission! All best wishes,
Yours truly—Greg Llacer.
