As part of the One Harvard Initiative, the sixth annual Lectures That Last (LTL2016) event was organized by the Harvard Graduate and Professional Student Government, with support from the Provost’s Office. LTL2016 was a Harvard-wide lecture series featuring student-nominated faculty speakers from each of the 12 graduate and professional schools who presented short TED-Talk style lectures about their work. This year’s event was held on Saturday, February 6th in Memorial Church (Harvard Yard), with the theme “Crossroads.” For more details and mind-expanding speeches from Harvard professors, visit http://ltl2016.com/.
