 Harvard has more varsity sports than any other school in the country, and somebody’s got to cover them. That’s where we come in. In addition to daily sports pages Tuesday through Friday, a sports section runs on Mondays to cover all of the major sports events of the weekend. You will interview players and coaches, then return to impersonate them during sports meetings. You will go on exciting road trips and might even go to the NCAA playoffs, on us. You can be a part of our new video coverage, giving voiceovers to highlight reels from the weekend's big games. You can enjoy a front row seat for Harvard athletes' greatest accomplishments, such as beating a ranked opponent for the first time in men's basketball history, and, of course, The Game, which has decided the Ivy League title for the past two years. After finishing your painless and surprisingly pleasant comp, you will be familiar with writing a broad range of stories, including live game coverage, features, previews, and even blog posts. You'll learn the tools of the trade at comp seminars every Sunday at 1:30 pm, and then you'll get to pick up stories at the weekly sports meeting at 2. In addition, upon your election you will earn a catchy column name voted on by your peers, which you can use to sound off on any topic of your choosing. Newly elected editors will also have the opportunity to pick up a beat, allowing them to consistently cover their favorite teams. Joining the Sports Board puts you in the company of many accomplished alumni, including writers for publications such as Sports Illustrated and the New York Post, as well as many positions outside the sports realm. The Sports Board can even put you on the path to the Crimson presidency. Just ask NBC president and CEO Jeff Zucker '86, and Malcom Glenn '09. Interested? Sign up here, and come to our open houses on September 7, 9 and 10 at 7 pm! And if you have any questions, please email comp directors Kate (kleist@fas.harvard.edu) and Max (mbrondf@fas.harvard.edu). |
