Staying Connected
We can't wait to connect with you!
We share a variety of messages throughout the year so that you have the information you need to support your student throughout their four years at Harvard.
The Parent and Family Engagement Office sends a newsletter just for Harvard College families twice a semester, and we will contact you when registration opens for Family Weekend, one of our absolute favorite Harvard traditions! You may also receive periodic communications from Harvard College senior leadership including Danoff Dean of Harvard College, Rakesh Khurana; Dean of Students, Tom Dunne and Dean of Undergraduate Education, Amanda Claybaugh. Learn more about what communications you will receive and when.
Most of our communications are sent via email. Please note that as a privacy measure, your student must provide your contact information in order for you to receive our messages. Please make sure your student follows the appropriate instructions to add your email and permanent address to the Family Information Form. Please also add parents@fas.harvard.edu to your safe sender list so that we make it to your inbox!

Staying Connected to Family in College
Noah Cominsky '20
I started my fourth and final year at Harvard a few months ago, and, in that time, I’ve done a lot of reflection on my college experience.
