"Our whole team was severed in a redundancy, and we decided to design and build a business rather than all pursue our separate ways," recalls Crosier...

...that people feel it’s not a legitimate concentration,” says Yuna C. Han ’10, when asked what she thinks about the department. But an official pronouncement may help in changing that perception.Last week, Harvard University President Drew G. Faust announced the creation of a “task force on the arts,” designed to ensure that arts education—as part of a broader liberal arts education—has a significant place here at Harvard. In doing so, she addressed the kind of skepticism Han speaks...
