We strongly encourage you to apply for any fellowship that may help you reach the work you are excited about. Because many fellowships require you to pursue a project with a host organization, however, and because some fellowships have very early deadlines, it is important to begin preparing NOW for your fellowship search.

Sign up for the Public Interest Law Program's Summer Educational Seminars.

Due to the Memorial Day Holiday there are early HLS absence and time reporting deadlines for this week that differ from the University deadlines. Please adhere to the HLS deadlines as noted below to ensure that all are paid correctly.

The Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management (OARM) hosted a webinar for potential applicants on April 30th. Important information to help you prepare for the program can be found in the webinar. The online application for the HP and SLIP closes on September 8, 2019, at 11:59 pm EST.

Speaking with attorneys practicing in your areas of interest (i.e., networking) is a critical component of a successful post-graduate job search. If you have been slow to make career connections in your city and/or field of interest, now is the time to kick things into gear.

DOS is looking for volunteers to help with the Class Day and Commencement Day Activities on May 29 and 30. Sign up to be part of the fun!

Government Honors Programs are the most common pathway for 3Ls and certain recent graduates to enter government service.

Our goal is to help you find a great public interest job and avoid the common mistakes that can derail your job search. Take a look at our list of common job search mistakes and don’t let them happen to you!

Take the Stairs is an annual Harvard University wide team-based campaign to facilitate and support health through movement. The month-long campaign encourages participants not only to take the stairs instead of elevators, but challenges individuals to consider how they move throughout the day such as opting for active modes of transportation when possible, holding walking meetings, as examples.

We are now accepting nominations for the Dean’s Award for Excellence and Harvard Heroes. These awards provide opportunities for the HLS community to honor the contributions of several of our dedicated and wonderful staff members. Nominations can be made by any current HLS faculty or staff member, and staff honorees will be chosen based upon their degree of demonstrated excellence and impact within the community.

The Spring 2019 Week of Service will take place March 18-March 22. Staff and faculty are welcomed to volunteer for a half-day project with other members of the HLS community and be part of this special week.

Help us welcome future HLS students to campus! We’re looking for volunteers to help with the 2019 Admitted Students Weekends. Volunteer shifts will take place on Friday, March 29 and Friday, April 12 from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm. We will need volunteers to help direct admitted students to faculty lunches across campus.

Are you beginning to think about your 2L summer and weighing the decision of whether to work in the private sector or the public sector? We in OPIA want every HLS student to feel empowered to make career choices that are the best for their individual interests and circumstances – whether those choices involve work in the public or private sectors.

In order to improve access to the 4th and 5th floors of Areeda, we will be separating the operation of the two elevators shared by Areeda and Langdell. One of the elevators will serve Library traffic and the other will serve Areeda only. The Areeda car will be shut down next Wednesday, February 6, with an estimated return to service by March 4. During this period you may use the Griswold or Lewis elevator(s) and come across the link to Areeda. As always, the stairs will be open and available.

As we start a new semester at HLS, there are several new and evolved email threats that we as a community should be aware of: the "Sneaky Phish," the "Please Sign," and the "Webcam Ransom."
