Undergraduate Student Board

The Undergraduate Board is an officially recognized Harvard College student group that organizes events targeting an undergraduate audience and engages in outreach with the undergrad community. Students have the opportunity to become directly involved in the creation of exciting programs aimed at their peers, including talks with professors and visiting scholars on pertinent themes, a European movie series, and an annual soiree.



Board-Sponsored Events

Movie Series: The Board screens major European films at the Center throughout the year. CES faculty are often invited to provide an introduction and a personal take on the movie, which generates interesting, interactive dialogue. Movies are typically shown in the CES Lower Level Conference Room on weeknight evenings following pizza in the lobby. Please see the CES events calendar for further details.

The first event in the 2008-2009 movie series is as follows;

Monday, September 29, 2008     Tuesday, September 30, 2008
La Vie en Rose

Edith Piaf is the subject of La Vie en Rose, directed by Olivier Dahan, and starring Marion Cotillard (for which she won Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role at the 2008 Oscar Awards).
Meetings with Visiting Scholars: The Board organizes special events which give undergraduates the chance to interact with visiting scholars. These may take place over breakfast, or through a small dinner gathering in Residential House dining halls.

New Events: The Board plans to launch several special new events for 2008-09. A current events discussion series will feature dialogue with professors and visiting scholars, emphasizing differing opinions on current issues. The Board is arranging special thematic discussions with Professors who have a distinct topical focus.

Annual Soiree: The Board holds an annual soiree with a special European theme. In 2008, the Rock & Royalty Ball was held in the Busch Hall lobby and museum. Visit this link for pictures. Stay tuned for information on the 2009 soiree!
