Workshops
Throughout the year CARC offers more than 60 free academic, graduate school, and career workshops. Harvard’s Bureau of Study Counsel (BSC) and Office of Career Services (OCS) sponsor many of the workshops, which meet for just under two hours (unless otherwise noted) in the afternoons and evenings at 51 Brattle Street. You can register via online services. Workshops are wheelchair accessible. If you need other accommodations, call the disability services coordinator at (617) 495-0977 in advance.
