Hello Everyone! Well we are almost through with September – what have you done to stay active so far this academic semester? Check out what we have going on, what’s new and what’s coming!
MEMBERSHIP
· For any membership information questions or inquiries you might have please contact Kristen LeBel, amembers@fas.harvard.edu.
· NEW GUEST POLICY
o The new guest fee is $15 per guest. Undergraduates are allowed one free guest at the MAC or Hemenway; HLS Students are allowed one free guest at Hemenway only.
o All guests (with the exception of alumni) MUST be accompanied by a Harvard Affiliate with current membership, and must remain with that member throughout the visit. Alumni will be allowed to use the facility without a member, as long as proof of alumnus status can be shown with a photo ID upon entry.
o Guests should be able to provide a photo ID to verify the information written on the form - the staff should not copy or hold the ID for any reason (the form should have a spot that can be initialed by the staff when an ID is verified).

We have also received numerous requests for long course swimming time from the recreation community, so we feel this benefits all parties.
