Harvard representatives outlined the University’s sustainability, diversity and inclusion, and resident outreach initiatives during the annual Town Gown report to the Cambridge Planning Board Tuesday.
Harvard along with Lesley University, Hult International School of Business, and MIT annually submits a “Town Gown” report to the City of Cambridge and presents it to city representatives.
“Town Gown” refers to the partnership between the academic “gown,” and non-academic “town” areas of cities that house higher educational campuses.
“This year’s Town Gown report acknowledges the broad effects the pandemic has had on our institution, while also recognizing Harvard’s ongoing commitment to academic and research excellence, and to being a good neighbor,” Harvard’s report reads.
