Coronavirus Information for HUCTW Members

As you saw in the latest communication from Harvard administrators about the fall semester, most Harvard staff members will continue to work from home until the end of the calendar year in order to maintain low campus density. Some Harvard staff members whose work requires them to be on site have been asked to return to campus. HUCTW and Harvard have agreed that members who work on campus more than four hours a week will be tested for COVID-19 on a recurring basis.

Commemoration to Honor the Lives Lost to COVID-19

The Memorial Church at Harvard University invites community members and their families and friends to participate in a University-wide Commemoration to Honor the Lives Lost to COVID-19. The Commemoration will take place on Sunday, November 1. From event organizers: "We invite all members of the Harvard community to participate in this commemoration by sharing names and photographs of loved ones who have lost their lives to COVID-19. Names and photos collected through this form will be shared virtually as part of the commemoration on November 1, and afterward online."

Making a Plan for Voting

Tuesday, September 22, is National Voter Registration Day and we want to provide you with some important dates and links so that you and your family members can make sure you have a plan to vote in the upcoming election. Have you made your plan to vote in the November 3rd election? Will you (1) vote by mail, (2) vote in-person early, or (3) vote in-person on election day? Massachusetts mailed vote-by-mail applications to residents, but if you still need one, you can download a PDF application on the Secretary of State's website. Massachusetts recommends that you request it as soon as possible, but not later than October 20.

In my job I help 75 PhD students each year apply for NIH fellowships by giving seminars to groups of students wherein I go through the steps of how to construct an NIH application. 6 years ago I had the idea to educate students on how to construct NIH applications.

I manage communications and publications for the college’s Music Department. I enjoy the variety that my job entails. I could be sitting in on a class visit by John Eliot Gardiner one day and copyediting an essay on South African jazz the next. Each day brings something different.

I have 40+ years of service at Harvard and many reasons to celebrate my longer-service status. And, I have been a member of HUCTW since its inception in 1988, for which I am profoundly proud and grateful.

I started working at the Harvard School of Public Health in 2000, but it wasn’t until I returned to work — after taking a couple years off from work to get my master’s degree at the school—that I realized all the things that the union has been working hard for to benefit me. Some are little things, some big things, but they all have added up to make a real difference.

I believe I can credit my longevity and career growth at the dental school to my involvement with the union. Particularly one benefit that I have now is my college degree and I received that with help from the tuition refund program and education release time.
