Dear Incoming Freshmen:
On behalf of the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard, the Harvard Secular Society, and the broader, century-old Humanist community surrounding our university, welcome to Harvard.
If you are reading this, you’ve learned of our website at today’s “Freshmen Fair,” as we have not yet officially launched our site or this blog nationwide– something we will be doing in the coming weeks, so please continue to follow but don’t forward the links to your friends quite yet.
If you are interested in Humanism, freethought, agnosticism, or atheism: you’ve picked the right university. You are just beginning to discover a community that is about to have a wonderful year, and that can provide you with a wonderful ‘home away from home’ for the next four years.
Given that we haven’t officially launched yet, I don’t want to say much more right now. But let me emphasize that I truly hope to get to know you individually over the course of the coming year and years. Please drop by my office in Memorial Church or email me to set up a meeting, at your earliest convienience. I will be delighted to hear your questions, concerns, or interests, or just listen to your story and share with you a little about the Chaplaincy’s.
Sincerely,
Greg M. Epstein
Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University
