About the Office
Office of Culture and Community
Mission
The transformative power of a liberal arts and sciences education is ingrained in the co-curricular offerings from the Office of Culture & Community.
The Office of Culture & Community recognizes the wide spectrum of life experiences present within our community and seeks to build bridges across the multitude of perspectives. We facilitate the forging of connections that will ultimately create deeper and more meaningful understanding across the myriad of individuals who belong to Harvard’s network. By reinforcing these bonds and uplifting the importance of intentional engagement, we enhance the foundation of each person’s intellectual framework.
Driven by our commitment to recognizing and uplifting the individual initiative, skills, performance, and hard work of each student, we celebrate their vital contributions as foundational in the development of our vibrant community through advising, training, programming, and partnership. We aim to affirm the rights of each student to benefit from the resources that this institution provides and establish connections that will serve them as they go out into the world as citizen leaders.
