Academic Integration and Competitive Excellence in Division I Athletics GameDay AT The Game There was a buzz in the air on a cold November morning as students filed into the Dillon Quad with signs in their hands, ready to endure the chilly weather to cheer on their team and earn some nationally-televised face time. For the first time in program history, Harvard University hosted ESPN’s College GameDay and members of the Harvard community lined in the early morning hours of November 22, 2014 to support the Crimson. Visiting its second Ivy school and first since 2002, GameDay was eager to showcase all that Harvard and Yale have to offer – both on the field and in the classroom. The premier college football preview show showcased three Crimson feature stories. The first detailed how Norman Hayes ’15 and his family bonded together to survive the tragedy of losing his sister Olivia. The second focused on the Crimson seniors’ Last Lap, where each graduating member shares a moment with every man on the team after the final practice. The ‘History of The Game’ depicted the original rivalry, as ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi described the battle as ‘oppression vs. freedom; justice vs. tyranny; darkness vs. light; good vs. evil; Harvard vs. Yale.’ The show was watched by nearly two million viewers before Harvard clinched the outright Ivy League championship title in one of the most dramatic games in recent memory. It was a day that no fan will soon forget. harvard Football News 2016 | 50 |
Academic Integration and Competitive Excellence in Division I Athletics EDUCATION THROUGH ATHLETICS harvard Football News 2016 LIFE OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM Extracurricular opportunities at Harvard are virtually unlimited. There are more than 400 official student organizations at the College, and the number and nature of organizations change constantly as students’ interests evolve. College facilities include concert halls, theaters with large stages and others with more intimate surroundings, dance studios, rehearsal spaces and practice rooms. Creative students may enjoy the visual arts as a satisfying hobby or a serious academic pursuit. Harvard values the lessons that have long been taught by athletic participation: the pursuit of excellence through personal development and teamwork, ethical and responsible behavior on the field and off, adherence to the spirit of rules as well as to their letter, leadership and strength of character, and sportsmanship – respect for one’s opponents, acceptance of victory with humility, and acknowledgement of defeat with grace. A BROAD CURRICULUM Harvard maintains its strong commitment to the undergraduate with one of the broadest programs in existence. Students may concentrate in any of 48 fields. The majority of courses offered at Harvard have fewer than 20 students, and most departments feature a “tutorial” system of teaching and learning. FACULTY Harvard’s faculty is large, diverse, and by any measure, an accomplished group of women and men. Each faculty member is both a noted teacher and scholar. Harvard students learn in classrooms and labs from professors who are leading authorities in their fields. In this academic community, all members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, including the most prominent scholars, expect to teach undergraduates as well as graduate students. Faculty members also instruct students outside the classroom. In addition to professors’ weekly office hours, students often spend time with their professors before or after class. There are also many occasions when professors take meals in Harvard’s residential dining halls, attend gatherings in the residences of House Masters, who are themselves senior faculty members, and participate in other programs and special events. Over the course of a year, hundreds of students work closely with faculty members on their own or their professors’ research. The opportunities for formal and informal relationships with Harvard faculty are plentiful and rewarding, resulting in lifelong friendships as well as professional collaborations that can enrich students’ lives and careers. STUDENT LIFE The house system, established in 1930, provides a small college atmosphere within the university. Each house has several faculty members and a staff of residential tutors associated with it, as well as dormitories, dining halls, libraries, intramural athletic teams and a number of social events. There are 12 residential houses, while a 13th unit, Dudley House, provides a parallel life for the students who live off-campus. | 52 |
