About the content:

On Nov.5, Harvard community was shocked by the forever loss of Ge, Hailei, a first year graduate student in computer science, who just started his study at Harvard for two months ago. The action that Hailei chose to leave all the burdens behind has really broken our hearts.

A lot of international students are deeply concerned with this incident. We believe there are lots of lessons we should learn. We organize this special seminar to address related issues for students, especially international students, which include:

• assisting students to understand and become psychologically prepared for the stresses in their study life.
• helping students to become aware of and seek available supporting resources for their specific difficulties.
• facilitating students, epsecially international student to cope with social and cultural transitions.
