    One Month In: Capitalizing on Class Cross Registration

    What is your favorite class? This is a hard question! I love all of them. Professor Schneider’s Digital Fabrication class and the drawing class I am taking at AFVS are two very rewarding classes.

    HGSE: One Month In (With a Husband and Baby in Tow)

    I am so ecstatic to be at HGSE! I came back to school after having worked in higher education for nine years, and my on-ramp to graduate school was several years along – so, I was REALLY ready.

    Ten Things I Wish I’d Known Before HGSE

    If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about applying to HGSE! If you were like me and reading this from somewhere that is not Boston, you might be feeling a bit stressed about all of the logistics in the pipeline in order to make the transition to Cambridge successfully.

    So, You’re About to Present at Your First Harvard Conference…

    When I first got to HGSE, I didn’t think I’d be qualified enough to speak at a Harvard conference, let alone three. That’s exactly how I started out my spring semester at HGSE, and how I’ll be ending it. The first of the three conferences I was accepted to speak at was the Alumni of…

    There’s No Place Like Home, But Cronkhite Feels Close

    At nine this morning, I woke up to the sound of Beyoncé and a knock at my door. I opened it up, and there stood my neighbor- in her bath towel- wondering if she could use some hair products. I am not ordinarily a morning person; however, living in a communal environment has a way…

    What Happens After HGSE?

      It’s hard to believe that there are only three weeks left of the semester…and just over a month until graduation! For full-time Master’s students, our time at HGSE is coming to a close, which means it is time to kick the job search into high gear. Luckily for all students at HGSE, there are…
