Graduate education is both highly challenging and rewarding. As the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), we encourage and support student success by providing a variety of support services, programs, and activities to enhance the student experience and to assist students in meeting the many demands of their personal and academic life. OSA is the primary resource on campus for students and serves as the main liaison between students and administration at HGSE. We are partners with students in the academic process, and we stand committed to student success.



 

##  Some of the programs and services we offer and support include: 

 



 ### Orientation

 

 ### Student Events

 

 ### Diversity & Inclusion

 

 ### Student Support Services

 

 ### Academic Coaching

 

 ### Access and Accommodations

##  Connect with OSA and Make an Appointment 

Students are encouraged to connect with staff in the Office of Student Affairs however they may feel comfortable. For some students, this may mean stopping into the Student and Academic Support Center on the second floor of Gutman Library while others may prefer a virtual meeting. To ensure that you are still supported while completing your coursework, you are welcome to make an appointment for a virtual meeting with any member of the OSA staff via the links below or stop by the office during [open hours](https://prod-gseosa.drupalsites.harvard.edu/people-0).

Upon scheduling a meeting through Calendly, the OSA staff member that you are meeting with will send you an invite for a Zoom meeting to take place at that time. If you would prefer to meet over the phone, please indicate that when booking the appointment.

**Our staff works to address various issues that are important to you and your experience at HGSE. Please contact the individual below who focuses on the area of expertise you may need.**
