Courses
Whether you are an undergraduate or a graduate student, Harvard offers a wealth of courses in a variety of scientific disciplines and policy areas that cover learning, behavior, and health from both domestic and international perspectives.
Distinguished Scholars Lecture Series
The Center's Distinguished Scholars Lecture Series is open to all University students, faculty, and the general public and provides a venue to interact with distinguished scholars whose creative research has made significant advances in the field of child development. This series spotlights these leaders’ bold contributions to the science of child development and the implications of their research on the worlds of education, policy, public health, medicine, justice, and economic development. The series analyzes how their research catalyzes new ways of thinking across disciplines to inform policy and practice.

Throughout the year, the Center offers work for highly motivated students in its offices at 50 Church Street and in the labs of our affiliated faculty across the campus. Opportunities range from providing administrative support and assisting staff with general office work and events to work on projects, such as coding and analyzing data, conducting research and literature reviews, note taking and producing report summaries of meetings.
Julius B. Richmond Fellowships
Among the core goals of the Center on the Developing Child is the creation of a new generation of leaders who view the promotion of healthy child development broadly. The Julius B. Richmond Fellowships help the Center to achieve that goal by bringing students from across the University to the Center to engage in ongoing research within an interdisciplinary community and to strengthen University-wide communications and collaboration in the area of child development. Including the awardees for the 2011-2012 academic year, a total of 18 fellows have been named since the program’s inaugural year in 2007-08.
