Harvard Student Agencies is dedicated to helping Harvard students defray the rising (and
rising and rising) costs of a Harvard education, while providing these students with
practical business experience, and supplying valuable, necessary services to the Harvard
Community. Now, while this may sound well and good, how exactly does HSA go about
pursuing these ideals? HSA achieves this mission by presenting students with a myriad
of diverse opportunities that all lead to a single collective goal: to provide the highest
quality jobs available to Harvard students.
HSA consists of 11 different agencies each headed by a student manager. The agencies
include, HSA Computer Services, Harvard Graphic Design, Harvard Student Resources, Unofficial Publications,
Let’s Go Publishing, The Campus Store, HSA Cleaners, Harvard Distribution, The Center for Enterprise,
Let’s Go Ad Sales, and HSA Rentals. These agencies provide a plethora of services ranging from organizing a mini-MBA program for rising seniors, to designing posters for other student groups, to publishing the
world’s best-selling budget travel guide series. |

Harvard-Radcliffe Kendo Club |

The Harvard-Radcliffe Kendo Club is one of the oldest collegiate organizations dedicated to the study and practice of kendo, the Japanese art of the sword. Modern kendo is the direct descendant of the schools of sword-fighting techniques in which the samurai were trained, and is one of Japan's most popular sports, with several million practitioners. The goal of kendo is not only to develop the physical ability to fight, but also the moral and spiritual aspects of rigorous and disciplined training.
All are welcome to join -- we will provide the necessary bamboo swords and armor. No previous martial arts experience is necessary. This year, the HRKC will be instructed by Mr. Junji Himeno (7th dan) a Visiting Scholar with the Reischauer Institute for Japanese Studies, one of only a few high-ranking sensei in the US.
As part of the HRKC's commitment to fostering relations in the collegiate kendo community, we host the only intercollegiate kendo tournament in North America. On the cultural side, the HRKC sponsors an annual exchange program to train with the kendo team of Keio University, one of the premier universities in Japan -- the popularity of kendo has made it a unique microcosm of Japanese culture. Additionally, this year we will be hosting a special practice and lecture with former Prime Minister of Japan, Mr. Ryutaro Hashimoto. Come join us! |
