The Office for the Arts and the Mignone Center for Career Success, in collaboration with the Harvard Club of New York Foundation, are excited to announce a new program offering 12 students the opportunity to travel to New York City with OFA and MCS leadership over Spring Break, March 13–16, 2026. This excursion is an opportunity to students to explore careers in the performing arts at one of the world’s most artistic cities. 

All undergraduate students in good academic standing are eligible to apply; special consideration given to juniors and seniors. Students must commit to staying with the group for the entirety of the trip and must attend all events. The OFA and MCS will cover the costs of round trip train travel from Cambridge to NYC, three nights in a hotel (with two-person occupancy rooms), two meals a day, and entry to all events.  

During the structured trip, students will enjoy a variety of enriching experiences, including: 

• Industry Speakers & Panel Discussions: Network with alumni and industry professionals as they share their career journeys and insights.
• Dynamic Q&A Sessions: Engage directly with leaders from renowned organizations such as Lincoln Center, the Juilliard School, Perelman Performing Arts Center, and top Broadway shows.
• Backstage & Studio Tours: Get exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to theaters and creative workspaces.
• Cultural Experiences: Attend live performances, exhibitions, rehearsals, and showcases.
• Performance Opportunity: Perform during a live showcase at an alumni mixer.
