Harvard Campus Update: Holiday Break, Museum Exhibits, Field Hockey Triumph, Chocolate Tour, and Weather Tips (Oct 13–20)

Hey Harvard University students, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for October 13 through October 20. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—Monday, October 13, is a university holiday in observance of Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day. No classes, so enjoy the long weekend! Next, the "Sea Monsters: Wonders of Nature and Imagination" exhibition is ongoing at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. Explore the allure of serpents, krakens, and other deep-sea creatures. It's a must-see for mythology and marine life enthusiasts. Lastly, the "Egypt Eternal: 4,000 Years of Fascination" exhibition is open at the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East. Dive into ancient Egypt's enduring legacy through artifacts and interactive displays. Perfect for history buffs! Over the weekend, our field hockey team dominated Boston University with a 7-0 victory. Sophomore Martha le Huray shined, scoring two goals and assisting two more. Looking ahead, the team faces Bucknell on Saturday, October 18, at 1 p.m. Come out and support the Crimson! The "Edna Andrade: Imagination Is Never Static" exhibition is running throughout the week. Experience the dynamic works of this influential artist at the Harvard Art Museums. It's a visual treat you won't want to miss. Also, the Harvard Square Chocolate Tour is happening on Thursday, October 16. Indulge in sweet treats from local chocolatiers and learn about the history of chocolate in the area. A delightful experience for your taste buds! This week in Cambridge, expect a mix of rain and sunshine. Monday and Tuesday bring rain and wind from a tropical rainstorm, so watch for flooding on streets and poor drainage areas. Midweek clears up with partly sunny skies, and by Sunday, temperatures warm up with highs near 69°F. Tip: Keep an umbrella handy early in the week and enjoy the sunnier days ahead.
