This club is for those who are interested in analyzing sports from a quantitative standpoint. We use mathematical and statistical models and techniques to investigate a wide variety of topics such as, but not limited to, predicting outcomes of games, refining and developing strategies during in-game situations, evaluating players and teams, and analyzing team personnel decisions. A background in statistics and mathematics as well as a working knowledge of sports is helpful, but certainly not necessary, as this club will teach modeling techniques and provide guidance for individual quantitative projects. We host weekly meetings where we discuss current sports topics from an analytical perspective. The group also produces academic literature that has been featured at a sports statistics conference and in the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports. Additionally, the club runs a blog and has a pre-professional component as we frequently host guest speakers from the sports world. Guests have included football and baseball writers, Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Oakland Athletics executives.

Harvard College Munch is a group for student interested in kink and alternative sexualities to meet, and organize relevant eventsspeakers, discussions, and screenings. It exists to promote a positive and accurate understanding of alternative sexualities and kink on campus, as well as to create a space where college-age adults may reach out to their peers and feel accepted in their own sexuality. Harvard College Munch therefore meets an otherwise unaddressed need on campus. Though existing campus groups range from representing women and men, queer sexualities and orientations, all the way to groups dedicated to abstinence, no other group exists as a forum for students interested in alternative sexualities to explore their identities and develop a community with their peers.
