Student Activities
Overview
Let Your Spirit Soar
College is about learning—and not all learning happens in the classroom. Extracurricular activities help you grow your talents and explore new interests. They create unique opportunities to bond with your classmates and develop skills that serve you well throughout your life.
At Harvard, activities will complement your studies. Your commitment level is entirely up to you.
Student Organizations
Leadership & Service
Service and leadership programs allow Harvard students to make a difference in the lives of others—and to grow themselves. Our Global Day of Service introduces new students to this approach, and to our neighbors in Cambridge and Boston. By beginning their time at Harvard with humble acts that benefit their new community, students lay the foundation for a lifelong commitment to good citizenship.
Crimson Creators

Traditions
When you've been around as long as we have, you're bound to pick up a few traditions. Here at Harvard, we take pride in keeping them alive and starting new ones as each student class comes and goes. From legends about the origins of the John Harvard statue to Commencement, stories and rituals are constantly shaping the vibrant culture on campus. Here's a peek at some of the traditions that we keep alive to this day.
