Dear Religion Concentrators,
Welcome back! Whether you were working, researching, or relaxing--or
perhaps a combination of all three--I hope you have enjoyed the
summer. With the semester quickly approaching, I wanted to remind you of a
couple of things.
The Concentrators' Meeting is on Monday September 20 at 5:30 pm in the
Thompson Room (on the first floor of the Barker Center). We will have
information on religion courses offered this semester, introductions of
students and faculty, and more general announcements--including some
important changes in the concentration. Juniors will also have a chance to
meet briefly with their tutorial leaders. Remember that the meeting is
mandatory for all concentrators.
The meeting will be followed by a picnic on the lawn of the Barker
Center. The meeting and the picnic are a great opportunity to catch up
with people you haven't seen in a while, meet new ones, and chat with
faculty and other students about courses for the fall.
Also, remember to be thinking ahead about meeting with your advisor during
the first week of classes. You should have received my email in July with
your advisor's name and email. If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to contact me.
For those of you who would like to meet with me during the first week of
classes, I have set up extended meeting times Tuesday from 2:40-5:00 and
Wednesday from 2-5. To make an appointment during those times, call Kit
Jaeger at 495-5781. (Note that she is only arranging my appointments for
those two days; normally you should email me directly.) If you cannot make
it during those times, email me directly at tlewis(a)fas.harvard.edu.
Finally, I am enjoying the position of Director of Undergraduate Studies
and looking forward to a great year. I've already spoken and/or
corresponded with a number of you and look forward to seeing the rest of
you next Monday.
With all best wishes,
Thomas A. Lewis
