Jason Q. Berkenfeld ’11, president of the Harvard College Democrats, also cited room reservations as a problem that student groups will likely have to face.
“We do have to worry about having...spaces open in which to hold these events,” he said. “Are we going to be able to reserve rooms?”
But, on the whole, student group leaders and the UC remain optimistic about the new chance to develop student-led programming over J-Term.
“Having these eight days for programming is an incredible start,” UC Vice President Eric N. Hysen ’11 said. “I would hope that if this [next J-term] is successful, we can work towards an even more expanded system.”
