We are so glad that many of you could join us on Saturday, December 5, for our first-ever HLS Virtual Reunion. While it wasn’t the in-person celebration in Cambridge that we had all been looking forward to, it was nevertheless an exciting and inspiring program and provided a thought-provoking reconnection with Harvard Law School.
We heard from Dean Manning with news and updates from the Law School, as well as from several HLS faculty members who brought their big ideas and thoughtful insight on issues of justice, government, history, and the Law School’s transition to support online teaching and learning.
Red Book
We’ve created a dynamic online class report, the Virtual Red Book, that we hope will help you reconnect with your classmates during this time of social distancing. The Virtual Red Book will allow you to easily view your classmates’ profile details, read their essays and remembrances, and view the photos they’ve uploaded from their professional and personal lives.
