Q: Why should someone decide to join the Rising Scholars Program?
A: Not only will you get to know campus before everyone else gets one campus, which is a huge plus for figuring out where everything is, but you will have a support system to take with you into your first year, and beyond, at Harvard. The community that RSP built for me goes beyond just Kat and all the support from the administrative side, but the other Rising Scholars, too, which has been invaluable as I have gone through my first year at Harvard.
Q: What is the highlight of being in the Rising Scholars Program?
A: It has to be when the RSP proctors organized a scavenger hunt across campus; it was friendly competition at its best and was a really fun way to bond more with my fellow Rising Scholars. We were running all over campus from the dorms to the athletic center to the Smith Campus Center, it was truly a fun way to get to know some trivia about campus during one of our study breaks.
