You made it! Classes are over and Commencement is less than a month away. As we wind down the academic year, we've also reached the end of our tribute to House mascots. Last, but certainly not least, we present to the residents of Kirkland House this ancient Greek bronze sculpture in the shape of a wild boar. You can visit this little piggy in our classical sculpture gallery on Level 3.
The boar and more are waiting for you to visit! Need a break from studying? Our galleries are open and ready for exploring. Rather stay in? We have virtual programs galore. Check out a sampling of our programs below and on our online calendar.
