Harvard at Home

Picture1 Picture2

The new, experimental venture called Harvard at Home is up and running. It offers alumni on-line access to capsule versions of lectures, courses, and events throughout the University. Already available are selections from the Alumni College program "Rediscovering Homer," led by Jones professor of Classical Greek literature Gregory Nagy; lectures by Howard Stone, McKay professor of chemical engineering and applied mechanics, and professor of chemistry and physics Eric J. Heller; and a discussion of modern library science by Nancy Cline, Larsen librarian of Harvard College. "We're very excited about having this available," says Terry Shaller, HAA senior associate director of continuing education. "The early feedback from alumni has been extraordinarily positive." Harvard at Home is accessible through www.haa.harvard.edu, where one registers for the password-protected alumni website Post.Harvard. A menu on that site links users to Harvard at Home.
