OPIA will be hosting a virtual Spring Interview Program (SIP) featuring public sector employers recruiting for summer and postgraduate positions. Bidding will take place in early January, with virtual interviews being held in late January into early February. In conjunction with the Virtual Spring Interview Program, there will be virtual employer chats with public sector employers on January 12th and 15th that students may register for in advance. More details about these employer chats, including who will be participating, and how to sign-up, will be shared in early January.

A new self-service photobooth, the Headshot Hub, has been installed in the Collaborative Commons on the 2nd floor of the Smith Campus Center. Available to anyone with a Harvard ID card, this new community resource provides students, faculty, staff, and other Harvard affiliates with convenient access to professional‑quality headshots.
