CMES Newsletter

CMES publishes a newsletter once per semester. Our spring issue features alumni news and updates from the previous year. You should receive an email each spring soliciting your news; however please keep us informed any time throughout the year if you have news you'd like to share. If you are not receiving our twice-yearly newsletter by email, please make sure we have an up-to-date email address for you (see "Update Your Contact Information" above).

MESA

CMES compiles a list highlighting Harvard affiliates presenting at MESA each year—if we have your email address, you will receive this list a few weeks in advance of the conference. We often host a reception for faculty and alumni at MESA—make sure we have your email address, and keep an eye out for an invitation in the fall!
