Instead, like many Harvard students, Riverton placed herself on the fast track to Wall Street, concentrating in economics with advanced standing. But halfway through her Harvard career, during a summer internship at the Boston Consulting Group, Riverton realized that a life in the corporate world no longer appealed to her. Finished with her concentration requirements but unsure how they played into her future, she took a semester off to travel and study in Taiwan. Away from the goal-oriented environment of Cambridge, Riverton came to view the commercial arts as a legitimate profession, not just a hobby...
...Career Services (OCS) Assistant Director Gail Gilmore. Gilmore frequently refers the students with whom she consults to various people and programs that will help them establish connections in their fields of interest. “For sophomores and juniors [in the arts], the pressure to find an arts internship quickly often results from peers who are pursuing internships in fields that have an earlier set of deadlines for both application and notification, such as investment banking, journalism, and consulting,” Gilmore writes in an email to The Crimson. “When one’s peers...

...calendar should instead mandate a four- or five-week break, during which students would be entirely free to decide what to do with their time—be it travel, get an internship, or just relax at home—except return to campus for class. 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...
