Right after the Student Organization Fair, take some time to eat, catch up with friends, and enjoy a concert at the first major social event of the year. This block party is your first chance to wave hello to old friends, meet new ones, and celebrate the start of a new year.
What better way to get to know the Harvard community than at the official all-campus Harvard Welcome Back? This awesome block party is brought to you by the Harvard College Events Board. As Harvard's premier programming board, CEB strives to expose the campus to the newest and hottest attractions.
If that doesn't sound like enough to do, add a music festival vibe with four of Harvard College's best student bands and a special guest headliner.
