While most Harvard students are used to flipping through the Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard, the finishing touches are being put on a new type of handbook to help students navigate the ins and outs of the University.
The Women's Guide to Harvard, a 150-page book about women at Harvard, is in the final stages of being designed.
Though the book will be printed in time to distribute to the Class of 2005, it is almost a year behind schedule.
Former Undergraduate Council Vice-President Kamil E. Redmond '00 started planning the guide in the spring of 1999 in response to what she said was the weak voice of women on campus.
The book-funded in part by the Ann Radcliffe Trust and the Women's Leadership Project (WLP)-was supposed to be ready to distribute to the Class of 2004.
Karen E. Avery '87, assistant dean of the College and director of the Trust, says she is surprised at the delay in the guide's completion.
"I thought it'd be out last May," Avery says. "I haven't seen much of the guide lately."
Redmond says she gave up control over the original production schedule when she graduated.
