A Day in the Life of a Harvard Summer School Student: A Conversation with Past Students and Proctors

Four Former Harvard Summer School Students Sitting in Harvard Yard

Attendees joined us for a free virtual panel with past students from the Pre-College Program and Secondary School Program, as well as one of our college student Proctors. Our panelists shared their favorite memories, offered advice, and answered questions about what it is like as a student in Harvard’s college programs for high school students.

Registration is now closed.
