Even though we are about to go on winter break, we are planning for August 2023--- when we get to meet all of you! Once you are done celebrating, and start thinking about life at Harvard, please consider joining the First Year Urban Program. The heart of FUP is community; the community created between participants and with our host sites. Since 1984, FUP has been transforming the lives of incoming students with a program of service, dialogue, as well as lip sync battles and scavenger hunts. In 2023, FUP will take place from August 24th-August 29th-- hope to see you then!
FUP 2022
September 1, 2022
FUP 2022 is a wrap! For the first time since 2019, we were live and in person serving twelve amazing organizations in Boston and Cambridge. It was fantastic to be able to introduce the Class of 2026 to the activists and leaders who are responsible for making City of Boston and City of Cambridge world class cities for living and learning. This year we served: Asian American Resource Workshop, Black & Pink, Central Square Business Improvement District, Chinese Progressive Association, Chinatown Land Trust, Community Response to Exreme Weather (CREW), Louis D. Brown Peace Institute, MassVoter Table, The Mather School, Spare Change, and VietAid. Thank you to our panelists from the Massachusetts Housing & Shelter Alliance, Greenroots, Harvard Dining Hall Worker's Union and the Harvard Graduate Student Union and Harvard's Memorial Church for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us. Here's to an amazing year filled with solidarity and justice!
Congratulations Class of 2026
