Popular Programs

Social Hours at the Hark Pub

Every Thursday from 8:00-9:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted), we host a Social Hour at the Hark Pub. We provide more than 100 free drink tickets, which can be redeemed for beer, wine, soda, or coffee. Whether you’d like to pre-party with a beer or take a study break with a cappuccino, we encourage you to stop by!

Faculty-Student Lunch Program

Each semester, we recruit many HLS professors to have lunch with small groups of students. Interested students rank their preferences, and seats are distributed via a lottery. This is a great opportunity for students and faculty to interact on a more informal level than usual. It also gives students the chance to meet faculty whom they might not encounter in the classroom.
