Grad Week

Harris Student Affairs and Alumni Relations and Development invite you to connect with your graduating class at:

- Grad Week - 
June 10 - 14, 2019

We are excited to announce that Jens Ludwig has been selected to give the inaugural Last Lecture during Grad Week!  Jens Ludwig is the Edwin A. and Betty L. Bergman Distinguished Service Professor, Director of the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab, Co-Director of the Education Lab, and Co-director of the National Bureau of Economic Research’s working group on the economics of crime. Jen's lecture,  "Non Specialis”, will answer the question: "If you had but one lecture to give, what would you say?”  

Grad Week is a series of events in the week leading up to commencement which will give graduating students opportunities to connect with one another, reflect on and celebrate their time at Harris, and look forward as a cohort to what comes next for you as policy leaders who will doubtless change the world.  We encourage you to participate in some or all of the events of Grad Week, listed below. Please RSVP for each of the events that you plan to attend. Some events have limited spots, so RSVP as soon as possible. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
