...than term-time study. “It’s the opposite at other schools,” she said, adding that it was unfortunate because the IHP only offers semester programs. Other tables advertised cultural immersion exchanges, such as the Kawamura Fellowship, which offers a fully sponsored five-week trip to Japan, South Korea and Thailand, promoting international exchange. “It’s kind of hard for students to believe that this sort of program exists,” said Austin Oehlerking, representing the fellowship. “They think there?...

Students who wish to remain on campus should, of course, be allowed to do so, just as they are presently permitted stay through winter break. We hope that Harvard will provide new funding for travel during the break, and also that undergraduates will take a real, much-needed break during the holidays...
