...Although OCS still has room to improve, it is gratifying to see that it is beginning to branch out as more students look to alternative career options. The Q Guide also made a very sensible change this year by finally requiring students to complete their evaluations in order to view their grades promptly after examination period.

But as the elected student government, the UC has always held a great deal of potential. Created by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the UC’s responsibility is to advocate for students in a complex and decentralized Harvard administration. Even though the mission of the council is straightforward, it has never been easily accomplished. The UC has become...
