8.10 Harvard University Office for Gender Equity and Title IX Coordinators

8.09 Voter Registration

Students should decide where to register and whether they will need an absentee ballot. Some students attending school in Massachusetts may consider their school's address their residence for voting purposes while others may still consider their home address their residence for voting purposes. In either case, the student must register in order to be eligible to vote. For more information, please visit: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ovr/.

8.10 Harvard University Office for Gender Equity and Title IX Coordinators

HMS is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy educational and work environment in which no member of the Harvard community is, on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in any University program or activity.

Please see the University-wide Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy for additional information. The procedures for handling complaints are available on the Title IX website.

Title IX Coordinators serve in a neutral role and support all members of the Harvard community. Coordinators have specialized experience in responding to disclosures of sexual and gender-based harassment in the Harvard community. They are also aware that your concerns may be of a sensitive nature and can offer support to help you continue with your work or studies while maintaining appropriate discretion.

Contacting your Title IX Coordinator is different from filing a formal complaint with the Office for Dispute Resolution. When you reach out to a Title IX Coordinator, you are free to share as much or as little information as you feel comfortable. Title IX Resource Coordinators for HMS
