Setting Yourself Up for Success at HES

Seven Harvard Extension School graduates at commencement in their caps and gowns

You’re smart, driven, and love a challenge — but you’re still concerned about how to make going back to school as a working adult really work in your real life. At Harvard Extension School (HES) we know that going back to school as a working adult is a big commitment. On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, we held a panel discussion with our staff, faculty, and alumni to share expert tips and ways to balance it all.

During the Webinar, Attendees:

  • Heard work-life-academic balance tips and firsthand experiences
  • Explored student resources and support services at HES
  • Learned ways to create a community for yourself as a student 
  • Discovered ways to prepare for your return to the classroom and reduce first-day anxiety
