As Potential Blizzard Approaches, Harvard Graduate Schools Cancel Classes

University allows some staff to stay home on a day that may bring over a foot of snow

According to its website, Harvard University Health Services will be closed Wednesday with the exception of urgent care, which will be operating on the third floor from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Additionally, the Office of Career Services’ On-Campus Interview program announced that it has postponed its Jan. 12 deadline for applications to internships at firms such as Barclays Capital, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan by 24 hours, noting that there will not be drop-ins or counseling appointments while—"for what may be the first time in Harvard history," it said in an e-mail—OCS is closed due to the storm.

Harvard has been known to remain reluctant to cancel school on account of snow. Former Dean of Students Archie C. Epps III told The Crimson in reference to a 1977 blizzard that “Harvard University will close only for an act of God, such as the end of the world.”
