Harvard Today: Oct. 17, 2013

UPDATED: October 17, 2013, at 7:05 a.m.

Now that lawmakers in Washington have the federal government figured out, students have another opportunity to weigh in on the governance of Harvard College.

At tonight's Dean of the College search discussion forum in Pfoho's Hastings Room at 7 p.m., Dean Smith and search committee members will host the last of three scheduled conversations with students. It should be interesting—last week's meeting in Lowell featured a lively discussion of final clubs.
