As the Dean of Harvard's Continuing Education and Extension School, no day is the same. Essentially, it is the access branch of Harvard. We offer undergraduate, graduate, and non-credit programs. We experiment with different forms of innovation like testing new pedagogies and methods of learning. I am responsible for the welfare of over 30,000 students in over 150 countries and managing 600+ online classes.
A typical day for a Dean of Students is never the same. You have the opportunity to make a difference in students lives everyday with your decisions.
