FUP is jam-packed with opportunities for you to learn about equity and access in Boston, explore your own role in social change while at Harvard AND how to navigate the resources and opportunites at Harvard.
A sample schedule is below. On weekdays, we will begin at 5pm EST; on the weekends, we will begin by 10am EST. Please note that is a VERY draft schedule. Due to the pandemic induced schedules, we are restructuring everything so you experience the FUP that has been transforming the lives of undergraduates since 1984.
