Yes, really…Jason’s post last week was not that far off-base in terms of weather in Boston this winter.

The Palace Road Building (or “the Palace” as I’ve heard some students refer to it), where the GSLIS Admission Office is located, has been hopping since late August. Not just because classes have started and students have returned, but literally moving due to construction across the street at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. We still [...]

Christine Williams, our assistant director of admissions, will be in Burlington, Vermont next week to meet with prospective students. She will be hosting an information session at the Fletcher Free Library to share information about our program, particularly the expanding blended online course options (the perfect option for Vermonters who don’t want to relocate!)
