As an HDS student, summers are an exciting time to delve further into your studies in any number of opportunities, including participating in Field Education or studying a language in the Summer Language Program (SLP) or completing research through fellowships. Though two units of field education are required for MDiv students at HDS, MTS students who are interested are welcome to engage in field education as well. In this post, second year MTS student, Melissa Cedillo, reflects on her summer field education experience as a Harvard Presidential Public Service Fellow (HPPS) working with Faith in Public Life (FPL).

Since the fall of 2011, I have worked at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government library, first as both a regular circulation assistant and a collections assistant and later just as a collections assistant. Initially, I averaged 20 hours per week (the limit for any full-time student on campus through work-study) but this year I kept it at 10. The difference between last year and this year has shown me a couple of things that I feel are important for anyone considering term time jobs while at HDS. Continue reading →
