Admitted Student Week is a chance for newly admitted students to connect with current and incoming students, as well as alumni, hear from faculty across policy areas, learn about the student support offered at Harris, and see the unique opportunities to study public policy and gain hands-on experience. We asked the Admissions team what they look forward to most about Admitted Student Week April 4–9.

"Connecting with students on Thursday night for a reception and fun activities like a bookstore tour, trivia, and Smart Museum. Many students make their best ASW memories chatting with one another in-person. I’m glad they will have those opportunities again this year."
