The daytime portion of the Summit, open to all Harvard community members, will include events at the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Campus Center. The day will bring together experts in our community: students, faculty, and staff, as well as invited guests to present in a variety of formats including on-stage interviews, performances and panel presentations. Candid discussions about key issues in the current climate, including gender discrimination on university campuses, due process, and intersectional approaches to equity will be encouraged.

This Summit will begin a necessary dialogue, strengthened by lessons learned here and elsewhere, as Harvard strives to be a harassment-free community. The evening will feature a special guest panel at Memorial Church, and will include important discussion on gender equity and gender stereotyping across industries, popular culture, advertising, and consumerism.

Attendance to daytime and evening portions of the Summit is free. Additional information on panels, speakers, and performers will continue to be updated.
