Becoming a Member


The Class of Spring 2008

Because of space limitations, a limited number of new members are admitted each year, in February and September. The HILR Admissions Committee interviews and looks for candidates who are intellectually committed to active participation and informed discussion, and who show a willingness to lead study groups and to serve on one or more program committees.

The Institute encourages applications from individuals of diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, handicap, or educational history. For further information about the application process, e-mail Lydia Sheehan, Lydia_Sheehan@harvard.edu.
